A
21-year-old final year female student of the Benue State University,
BSU, Joan Adaaku, has been reportedly found dead in a hotel room located
in the heart of Makurdi, the Benue State capital.
Vanguard
gathered from sources who preferred anonymity that the Economics
undergraduate had checked into Savannah Guest House at about 7 a.m
after paying N2,000 for a room
According to the source, “She
actually arrived the hotel alone and after underaking some check-in
formalities she entered the room and locked herself up.
“She never
came out of her room again either to ask for food or any other things.
So, at exactly 6 p.m, a room attendant knocked on her door to find out
if she was interest in being attended to by room service.
“Her
silence aroused suspicion and the room attendant, who repeated his call
to the room at 8pm without reply, alerted the manager on duty.
“It
was at that point that the management alerted the Police who moved in
and broke into the room and discovered the lifeless body of the lady in a
position that suggested she was making a call before her death.
Vanguard
gathered that the deceased had on her a small purse which contained a
Bible, rosary and N8,200. A bottle of water and a bottle of soft drink
were also discovered in the room.
Contacted, the Benue State
Police Public Relations Officer, Deputy Superintendent, DSP, Daniel
Ezeala who confirmed the incident said investigation into the matter had
commenced.
