The Operations Manager of Maybeny Hotel at
Ire-Akari Road in Isolo, Lagos, Mr. Uche
Egwuenu, was found dead in one of the rooms
in the hotel on Saturday, the News Agency of
Nigeria reports.

A source close to the hotel told NAN in Lagos
that the deceased was the son of the owner of
the hotel, whose name was given simply as
Chief Egwuenu.

The source said, “The deceased was last seen
in the early hours of Friday before locking
himself up in one of the rooms. Nobody heard
from him throughout Friday.

“The assistant manager and other staff of the
hotel reported the matter at the Isolo
Divisional Police Headquarters, which
prompted the DPO’s visit to the hotel for
assessment.

“The DPO and others forced the room open
and Uche was found dead and swollen on the
bed, an indication that he died more than 24
hours before discovery.

“White liquid substance suspected to be hard
drugs, diary and a bottle of Orijin drink with
mixed liquid, were recovered from the
room.”

When NAN visited the hotel at about 3pm on
Saturday, a wedding reception was on, an
indication that the visitors were not aware of
the incident.
