A man was found dead in a hotel room at Eleparanwo in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State.
According to reports, the man identified simply as ThankGo checked into the hotel the previous night after he allegedly had a quarrel with his wife.
However, he was found dead by a staff member of the hotel.
Speaking about the sad incident, the staff told Punch that they became suspicious after they heard nothing from their guest after his time had elapsed.
He said;
“We went through the back and pushed the air conditioner to see if someone could go inside and open the bolt. In the process, we broke the door open. Everybody, even his family members were here.
They came in and saw him. He broke our mirror and maybe used it to cut his throat. We saw the mirror in the bath. They (his family) saw everything and started shouting.”
Addressing the report, Nnamdi Omoni, the Spokesman of the state police command stated that he heard of the incident, but had yet to get a confirmation from the Divisional Police Officer in charge of the area.
