A self-confessed commercial sex worker in Umunede, Ika North Local Government Area of Delta State has alleged that her clients stole her four-year-old son after a sex romp with him.
The woman (name withheld) revealed how she was approached by the man for an all-night sex, adding that after agreeing on the fee, the client moved her and her son to the guest house where he lodged.
She said when they arrived at the client’s room at about 10pm on the fateful night, they quickly went into action, allowing her child to occupy a little space on the bed where he slept peacefully.
She said after some rounds of sex, she got worn out and fell into a deep sleep. But by the time she woke up at about 5am, the man had disappeared with her son.
