Punch reports that the victim who is a father of two, died inside a hotel known as Treasure Land, in Ovwian, Udu Local Government Area of the state after he and the customer identified as Helen Obiogu, had planned to have sex in exchange for the phone.

According to the report, Obiogu had gone to buy the mobile phone from Nelson's shop located in a shopping mall known as Robinson Plaza along Deco road in Warri South.

She was said to be short of N5,000 to make complete an outright payment for the purchase and had pleaded with the deceased to let her go and come back the following day with the money but he refused and instead, offered to let her keep the phone if she would have sex with him, a proposition she accepted and they agreed at a meeting point.

When the deceased got to the hotel for the rendezvous, it was gathered, Obiogu was already waiting for him and he sent her to go and buy some drinks for them.

It was in the course of sipping the drink that Nelson went into a coma and died before help could come his way.

When the staff of the hotel got wind of the incident, Obiogu was arrested after they noticed she was crying and was in a haste to leave the premises.
