Edo Hotel CEO Accused Of Detaining Two Men For Two Weeks Over Video Of N4,700 Food Dispute, Demands N7.2Million The detainees, Usman Abdul Mumin and his friend, Mohammed Fahaas, have allegedly spent about two weeks in police custody and are facing a cyberbullying charge after Mumin posted a short video of the incident.
Edo Hotel CEO Daniel Abu Shaibu is accused of detaining two men, Usman Abdul Mumin and Mohammed Fahaas, for two weeks over a video of a N4,700 food dispute at his hotel. Mumin posted the short video, leading to his arrest and a charge of cyberbullying. The CEO demanded N7.2 million in damages from Mumin. The ordeal began when Mumin and his friends visited the Danisko Hotel in Aviale, Edo State, after a hospital visit.
After being denied Semovita, Mumin declined the N4,700 pounded yam offered by the female bar attendant. When the hotel gate was locked, preventing their exit, the situation escalated to the alleged use of a gun by a hotel security officer. Mumin ultimately paid the N4,700 despite not ordering or consuming the food, but the gate remained locked.
The detainees are currently in police custody under the anti-kidnapping department and are expected to appear in court again on Monday, August 31.
