''3 months ago, a young beautiful girl approached me and pleaded with tears in her eyes to help her leave the street.
''She is a SEX-WORKER. She called me 4 days ago, the reason am making this post now. I took her to a local restaurant (Mama put), we ate & drank. I made her feel so relaxed so that she can tell me what really happened.
''She sleeps with 5-7 men daily and gets #500-1000 per person. She took me to the brothel where she pays #1k daily
