Hotel Manager Found Dead In Room With Drugs

The Operations Manager of Maybeny Hotel at Ire-Akari Road in Isolo, Lagos, Mr Uche Egwuenu, was found dead in one of the rooms in the hotel on Saturday.
A source at the hotel disclosed that the deceased was the son of the owner of the hotel, whose name was given simply as Chief Egwuenu. “The deceased was last seen in the early hours of Friday before locking himself up in one of the rooms. Nobody heard from him throughout Friday. “The assistant manager and other staff of the hotel reported the matter at the Isolo Divisional Police Headquarters, which prompted the DPO’s visit to the hotel for assessment. “The DPO and others forced the room open and Uche was found dead and swollen on the bed, an indication that he died more than 24 hours before discovery. “White liquid substance suspected to be hard drugs, diary and a bottle of Orijin drink with mixed liquid, were recovered from the room,” the source said. When NAN visited the hotel at about 3.00 p.m. on Saturday, a wedding reception was on, an indication that the visitors were not aware of the incident. Efforts to speak with the management of the hotel proved abortive as people at the reception claimed that such incident did not happen at the hotel. However, the Lagos State Police Command’s Spokeswoman, DSP Patricia Amadin, confirmed the incident. She said that policemen from the Isolo Division had deposited the corpse at the Isolo General Hospital Mortuary for autopsy. Amadin said that the police would investigate the circumstances surrounding the death.
