According to reports, the altercation occurred around 5:30 am after Okafor brought Joy to his residence to spend the night. A disagreement reportedly arose the following morning over payment, which escalated into violence.

A police source, who spoke under the condition of anonymity, revealed that the argument started when Okafor refused to pay the agreed fee. In the heat of the dispute, Joy allegedly grabbed a sharp object and stabbed Okafor, leaving him unconscious. Sadly, Okafor later succumbed to his injuries.

Confirming the incident, Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, disclosed that the report was initially lodged by Okafor’s friend at the Ilasan Police Division. The friend reported receiving a distress call about the stabbing incident earlier that morning.

Hundeyin explained, “Today, October 7, 2024, at approximately 07:20 hours, a complainant reported at the Ilasan Division that his friend, Okafor, was stabbed in his house by Joy Kelvin, a female prostitute he had brought home overnight. The victim was rushed to General Hospital, Marina, where he was pronounced dead.”

Police detectives promptly arrived at the scene, took photographs, and evacuated the body to the General Hospital morgue in Yaba for preservation and autopsy as investigations into the tragic event continue.
