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.
Sources who preferred anonymity told Vanguard 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.
Benue State Police Public Relations Officer, Deputy Superintendent, DSP, Daniel Ezeala confirmed the incident, and said investigation into the matter had commenced.
