Anambra State government has sealed off Cosmila Hotel in
Awka, the state capital, after news of the death of a lady, Miss Chinyere Awuda
in the facility.
The lady was reported to have been beaten to death by some
fun seekers, who clubbed in the hotel last weekend, to celebrate the birthday
of their friend.
There are, however, varied accounts of Miss Awuda’s death.
While some people said she was accused of picking and pocketing money being
sprayed on the celebrant, others said she had stolen some money meant to be
sprayed, and made to escape, before she was apprehended.
While police authorities in the state confirmed that the
celebrant and his friends who were accused of beating the girl to death and
dumping her body in a pool have been arrested, the state commissioner for
culture, tourism and entertainment, Hon Don Onyeji said the hotel has been
sealed.
Onyenji who spoke to DAILY POST on the phone said: “Yes, we
have visited the hotel, and also sealed it off.
“We are in touch with the police, who are already
investigating the matter, and the facility will remain sealed, pending the
outcome of the police investigation.”
