Two suspects have been arrested by the police over the stabbing to death of a woman named Zara, whom they had checked into a hotel.
According to reports, the incident occurred on Sunday night at Galaxy Hotel, Byazhin, in the Federal Capital Territory’s Kubwa district.
It was gathered that Zara and the males in the hotel room got into an altercation, which led to one of them stabbing her with a scissor.
A resident of the area who asked to remain anonymous told our correspondent that the woman killed was a commercial sex worker.
He mentioned that she was stabbed in the stomach and other areas of her body.
The source said, “We woke up this morning to the news of the death of a commercial sex worker in a hotel in Kubwa here. What we heard was that an argument occurred between her and the two men.

Speaking on the incident, the FCT police spokesperson, SP Josephine Adeh, said two people were arrested in connection with the lady’s murder.
She said, “The FCT Police Command received a distress call from Galaxy Hotel Byazhin that one Maman Ajiya and Usman Lawal, both males, of no known address, lodged in the hotel with one Zara Tua.
“A disagreement later ensued between the trio, which led to Zara Tua being stabbed with scissors. Upon receipt of the report, police operatives from the Byazhin Police Division immediately deployed to the scene. Upon arrival, they met the said Ajiya, beaten to a stupor by a mob.
