A 16-year-old girl was severely beaten by her brother after being caught engaging in sex work at Ricky Hotel, Ughelli. This hotel, known for allegedly providing underage girls to guests, raises concerns about child exploitation in Delta state. The incident has sparked mixed reactions on social media.
A disturbing incident in Ughelli has captured widespread attention after a 16-year-old girl was severely beaten by her brother upon being caught engaging in sex work at a local hotel. The incident took place at Ricky Hotel, located on Oteri Road near Central Hospital in Ughelli, which is known to allegedly accommodate underage girls for the entertainment of guests.
Reports suggest that the hotel is part of a troubling trend in Delta state, where multiple establishments reportedly offer underage girls to meet the demands of mostly male clientele, who tend to be within the same age group as the girls themselves. According to local sources, the girl, who is believed to be employed at the hotel, was filmed partying with guests, leading to her family’s decision to take matters into their own hands.
While some believe that the girl was coerced into sex work due to socio-economic pressures, others have questioned why she, at such a young age, would resort to prostitution. The public’s reaction has been mixed, with many condemning her brother’s actions. Some argue that a beating won't resolve the underlying issues, while others believe it was his right to discipline her as she is still under his roof.
