A young lady identified as Miss Chinyere Awuda was last
weekend beaten to death by fun seekers in a club inside Cosmila Hotel in Awka,
Anambra State.
The lady, who hails from Nnobi in Idemmili South Local
Government Area of Anambra State, was found dead in the swimming pool of the
hotel on Sunday morning, where she was dumped after being lynched.
Sources said she was at the club when trouble broke out and
a man said to be a popular clubber, Mr. Gabriel Chinemere and his friends
started beating her.
“One of the clubbers accused her of picking money which the
fun seekers were spraying on their friend who was a birthday celebrant.
“Some others said she did not only pick money, but went for
bundles of money, which a clubber stacked by his seat side, waiting to spray on
the celebrant,” a source said.
A regular clubber at Cosmila Hotel told DAILY POST that:
“Some of these girls just dress up and come to the club and begin to pick
money. While you’re spraying your friends, these girls will just be picking and
pocketing the money.
“Because men are already drunk in club, the girls get away
with the money. I was not in club last weekend, but I heard that the girl went
for money that someone kept by his seat side, which he was getting prepared to
go and spray. That was what happened.”
DAILY POST learnt that despite efforts made by other people
in the club to rescue the girl, they continued to beat and molest her.
She was later dragged outside the club, and her lifeless
body dumped into the hotel’s swimming pool.
Anambra State Police Spokesperson, DSP Tochukwu Ikenga,
confirmed the incident and said the birthday celebrant and his friends were
already in police custody while the case is being investigated.
“Contrary to what people are saying about the complicity of
Cosmila Hotel, we were assisted by the management of the hotel, to arrest the
suspects.
“Investigation is still ongoing,” he said.
