MAKURDI — 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.
Vanguard gathered from sources who preferred
anonymity 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.
Contacted, the Benue State Police Public Relations
Officer, Deputy Superintendent, DSP, Daniel Ezeala
who confirmed the incident said investigation into
the matter had commenced.
