Police in Lagos have detained a hotel manager in the Dopemu area over the death of a woman who allegedly came to their facility with an unknown man.
The Command’s Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed this to NAN on Sunday.
According to Hundeyin, the Dopemu Police Division received a report from the hotel manager on Friday at about 10.10 pm on the incident.
He said the manager reported that at about 9:30 pm on the same day, a man walked into the hotel with a lady to have a short rest.
Hundeyin said that the identities of the man and the lady were, however, not taken by the hotel manager.
“He stated further that after an hour, the lady rushed out, claiming she was feeling hot, the manager said he gave her cold water to drink.
“The manager said the lady was still not feeling better and was later taken to a hospital at Dopemu Road, where she later gave up the ghost, while the man that brought her to the hotel absconded.
“Meanwhile, the manager of the hotel is detained to help in investigation. The corpse has been deposited at Mainland General Hospital mortuary, Yaba, for autopsy,” he said.
