It was quite confusing yesterday when the corpse of a young
man identified as Mohammed Suberu was found at a popular hotel in the state capital,Lokoja.
Reports also disclosed that the corpse was found floating in the swimming pool of the hotel,
located in Lokongoma Phase 2 area, where he
was said to have gone to swim in the morning of Monday.
The body was later taken to the state specialist
hospital in Lokoja where he was confirmed dead.
But the atmosphere became tensed when friends and colleagues of the deceased invaded the premises of the hotel.
The youths attacked the workers and property of the hotel, and
policemen had to be deployed to restore calm.
The general manager of the hotel, Audu Alhassan, would not speak on the matter.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO),
Kogi state command, William Anya, said when
the friends of the deceased mobilised to attack
the hotel, the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) led
his men to put the situation under control.
