A man identified as Mr. Peter Ibekwe was found dead in a hotel room in Aba, Abia State during the weekend, after telling his wife that he was a business trip to Umuahia, the state capital of Abia.

It was learnt that the deceased who resided in the Ogbor Hill area of the city, instead of travelling to Umuahia, went and lodged in a hotel located on Club 25 road, Abayi Aba in Osisioma Local Government Area of the State.

Ibekwe, who was said to have entered the hotel at about 7:30pm the previous night, was however, found dead in his room the following morning when cleaners in the hotel went to tidy his room and initial attempts to open the door proved abortive.

“It was after initial efforts failed that some workers at the hotel forced the door open only to see the lifeless body of Mr. Ibekwe.

“The hotel management informed the police about the incident. The man’s relations were equally contacted before his body was taken from the hotel to the mortuary”, a source revealed.

The cause of the man’s death is not known yet though a source close to the police disclosed ‎that autopsy would soon be carried out to ascertain what happened.
