On Thursday morning, a hotel in Eagle Island Estate, Port Harcourt, experienced chaos following the death of a young man named Charles. Family members and friends of the deceased arrived at the hotel demanding an explanation, causing disruption to business operations. The family was unsatisfied with the hotel's explanation that Charles had fallen from a balcony and insisted on viewing the CCTV footage.
The situation escalated, prompting intervention from the Azikiwe Police Division. Charles' elder brother, Obomate, stated that they were informed of his brother's death at around 5 am. The family visited the hotel but did not find evidence that he fell from the balcony, instead discovering signs of struggle, blood, and injuries on his body.
The doctor concluded that the wounds were not consistent with a simple fall and suspected a stab wound and possible neck injuries. The police subsequently shut down the hotel, removing the corpse and ordering everyone to leave the premises for further investigation.
