Nigeria- A suspected homosexual, Mohammed Umar, has murdered his gay partner, Muhammed Snu inside a hotel room in Garki, Abuja by stabbing him repeatedly in the ribs with a screw driver last Thursday, Punch reports.
The incident was said to have generated an uproar around the Garki neighbourhood, as residents gathered in clusters to discuss the tragedy.
The deceased, a regular guest at the hotel, reportedly invited Umar for sex, but their romance went south when Snu refused to pay his partner for the second round of sex which led to a scuffle.
“The man had just come back from a mosque where he went for prayers with his partner when we heard a loud noise from his room and a voice saying ‘ya kuri (please, don’t be angry)’. By the time we forced the door open, we saw Umar standing Unclad and Snu lying dead on the bed with stab injuries on his body. We immediately called the police and Umar was arrested.” a witness said.
It was learnt that the police came back later and whisked away the hotel manager for interrogation and also took the corpse away.
The FCT Police Public Relations Officer, Peter Okechukwu, who confirmed the incident, explained that the deceased invited the suspect to massage him in his hotel room, saying he had pains in his ribs.
“In the course of the massage, Snu asked Umar to UnCloth for sex, and from there, they engaged in a scuffle leading to the stabbing of the deceased by the suspect. It was the loud noise from their room that attracted the hotel workers.
“When our men got to the hotel, we found the deceased and the suspect Unclad. Investigations have commenced and we will soon know what actually transpired behind the closed door.”
