Ebonyi lady gang-raped, found dead in hotel room: Police
The police command in Ebonyi says it will arrest and prosecute the killers of a 26-year-old lady, Ugochukwu Nworie.
Police spokeswoman Loveth Odah, on behalf of police commissioner Aliyu Garba, disclosed this on Wednesday in Abakaliki.
Ms Odah revealed that efforts were in top gear to arrest and prosecute the perpetrators.
The police stated that investigations confirmed that Ms Nworie was gang-raped, as more than 12 used condoms was discovered in a hotel room.
Investigations are ongoing, according to the police.
The spokeswoman said the divisional police officer (DPO) of Kpirikpiri Police Division in Ebonyi, indicated that the incident happened in Hope-in hotel, situated at Nine Ngbowo Street, Abakaliki.
“The DPO reported that the incident happened while on a routine check on the hotel. A room not accounted for was discovered. So the DPO decided to enquire from the receptionist, who told him that the guests in the room were unknown to him,” said Ms Odah. “Efforts to open the room proved abortive, until he requested the spare key to open the door, only to discover a lifeless body of the lady, naked and her legs, hands with mouth were tied to the bed in the room.”
She noted that the victim’s corpse had been deposited in a morgue.
