On Thursday morning, a young man named Charles died under suspicious circumstances at a hotel in Eagle Island Estate, Port Harcourt, the capital of Rivers State. Upon learning of the incident, Charles' family and friends stormed the hotel, demanding explanations from management. The hotel's disruption caused chaos, as the family insisted on viewing the hotel's CCTV footage.
Police intervention from the Azikiwe Police Division in Port Harcourt helped restore order. Charles' elder brother, Obomate, stated that the family was informed of his death at around 5 am and visited the hotel but did not see any evidence of the fall claimed by management. Instead, they found signs of struggle, blood, and injuries on Charles' body that the doctor believed were not just from a fall.
The police have now shut down the hotel, requesting that everyone leave the premises, while the investigation into the incident continues.
