Celine Ndudim and Afiba Tandoh were two friends who went to engage with their Facebook client, Andrew Ochekwo, on April 27, 2024. The two girls had left Rumuola, PH, for the ZeeRock area of Ogbor-Hill Aba to meet with their client and keep him company for the last weekend of April.
The girls charged Andrew N1 million for their services, which he paid before they arrived to accomplish the sexual orgy. Celine and Afiba were alleged to have been killed and their bodies dismembered by Andrew after he moved the money back to his account at gunpoint. The rest, as they say, is history.
From Instagram to Facebook, down to group WhatsApp, the story has trended, and everyone has blamed them for engaging in the sex trade, otherwise known today as HOOK-UP. Hook-up is a refined phrase used to identify the act of collecting money from a man to offer him solicited sex. It is commonly done officially or unofficially.
It is official when the bargain is reached before the lady sets out, and in most cases, an Uber or Bolt is booked for her by the client to facilitate the engagement. It is unofficial when the lady does not bargain, either because she knows and trusts the client or because she wants to observe some religious maturity. In this last case, they expect that after their services, you will need to accompany them back with a deposit from your heart. However, this deposit determines if you will have a second chance or not.
Celine and Afiba are not exceptional. They are only an expression of what is happening in our society now, where sex services have become very lucrative. People go to spas and gyms to equip themselves for the trade. At the center of this drive are money, greed, competition, show-off, allure, and lust for filthy lucre.
To think that Celine was formerly a designer before abandoning it for the sex trade is to imagine the number of students who move to cities under the guise of attending universities and polytechnics but only to start their ruin. Most of them start their SMEs online by selling non-existent products on WhatsApp and Facebook stories, and gradually, they go for their kill.
It is easy to identify these sisters with an eagle eye: you will see someone coming from a very poor family that uses candles for illumination at night; you even wonder how she is footing her education bills at university; and she is the only fair lady among her dark siblings as she maintains a costly skincare routine and lives comfortably in an air-conditioned apartment in town, from where it becomes difficult to visit home.
If you dare question the lifestyle, the entire family will come at you as if you are a younger brother to Satan. Sadly, the current trade has made these girls so arrogant and uncultured that all they know is the financial value of your deliberation with them because they need money to live and fund their larger lifestyles in town.

In some cases, girls now engage in blackmail to raise money, and the targets are always reputed members of society. Whether the story of Celine and Afiba will change anything in this ongoing lucrative business or teach individuals and families anything is not yet clear to all of us, as another story could be in the offing. May God grant the souls of these fallen heroes final rest. Amen.
Thank you.
