Serial kill arrest

LAGOS - Nigerian police investigating the murders of at least eight women lured to hotels in the southern city of Port Harcourt on Thursday arrested a man they described as a “serial killer”.

Five deaths in the last month have sparked outrage in Nigeria, with protests erupting across the city by women activists fearing a rise in killings targeting suspected sex workers.

Police had already arrested one suspect but said in a statement on Twitter that another suspect had been arrested on Thursday morning.
