Longrich Entrepreneur Recounts How She Escaped Been Used For Ritual After A Lady Called Her to A Hotel To Buy Product.

In recent times, some young ladies have been lured to a hotel and killed by a gang of serial ritual killers in Portharcourt and other places. The victims had also been branded prostitutes simply because they were murdered in a hotel room.

Have we ever thought that there could be more to this than giving these victims a bad name? For the records, the fact that anyone of them maybe prostitutes do not give anyone the right to kill them.

An entrepreneur who is a networker with the popular brand, Longrich, has recounted her ordeal in the hands of a prospect whom she had thought was genuine.

Here's her message to us all and she hopes entrepreneurs would learn from her ordeal.

Good day friends.

Something happened last Sunday that made me begin to question these serial killings of women.

I came back from Service and got a call from a strange number, a female.

She said she saw my number in a Longrich Wine flier and that she will like to buy the wine.

The Entrepreneur in me thanked God that my prayers have started working and business is moving to the permanent site.

We talked about the price, but as we were talking, I was hearing a man's voice from the background, telling her what to ask and co.

She left the Wine she saw on the flier and asked about the Sanitary Pad and Panty Liner and I told her their prices.

She mentioned the hotel she was in and we agreed I will deliver to her at the reception by 5pm.

Few minutes to the time, I called her to let her know I was on my way.
She acknowledged that.

I got to the hotel reception and called her that I was downstairs.

That was when gbege started.

Lady: Come up to Room 207.
Me: Pardon?
Lady: Come up to Room 207.
Me: That wasn't the agreement. You said we will meet at the reception.
Lady: I am not dressed. Just come to the room door and I will come out and give you your money.

From the background,,,,

Male: (muffled sound) What is she saying?
Lady: (muffled sound) She hasn't agreed.

Me: Madam please dress up and come down. I will be waiting at the reception.
Lady: What is there na? I told you I am not dressed. Just use the lift.

Like say i never use lift for my life before, and should be jumping up at such privilege,,,,Kai,,,Ijeomaaaaaa!!!

Me: Well my dear, I am not dressed for coming upstairs. If you cant meet me at the reception, then, I will be on my way going.

(Muffled discussion between Male and Lady)

Hmmmmm

Lady: Is this how you treat your customers,,,bla,bla,bla.. Just come upstairs na.
Me: Do have a nice day, Ma.

Hangs up.

Woooow.

Wasted t.fare,,,but that one no pain me.

On my way home,, I don't know why, but the images of the dead ladies with white handkerchiefs round their necks in hotel rooms, kept flashing through my mind.

What if this is the way these victims were lured?

Just what if?

I gisted my Colleague this story yesterday and before I could say anything about my thoughts on the handkerchief saga, my Colleague said,,,,What if this is how they lure all those girls of white handkerchief to the hotel?

Please ladies, especially Entrepreneurs, lets be careful of where we meet customers to transact business and delivery.

Always insist on open places and avoid going at night.

If anything had happened, nobody would have believed I went there for genuine business…

Most people for say na ashawo business I go do.

As much as we hope on God's protection, let us also, protect ourselves, by applying caution in cases like this.

Please share,,,,,a life may be saved by this experience.
