Mrs. Chinyere Nwoye, the mother of the deceased, said her daughter Promise was lured out from Oye-agu market area where she was undergoing computer lesson to the said hotel and wickedly strangled to death, adding that before she died she had called her to tell her to quickly bring her ATM Pin telling her in a jiffy that she was at Akuu hotel. She narrated that she quickly chartered an Okada together with a Christian brother to the hotel while crying hysterically.

She noted that when she arrived that it was the noise she made that made the hotel management to listen to her as they were not ready to listen to her adding that because of her cry they went upstairs to the one of the rooms and discovered the strangled body of her daughter.

The manager of the hotel, Mr. Philip Bata, a Tiv, confirmed the woman’s story and told newsmen that the hotel security succeeded in arresting one of the suspects and has handed him over to the Police, adding that the police are handling the matter. (Independent)
