Miss Chinyere Awuda, a young woman, was fatally battered inside a well-known hotel in Awka, Anambra State (name withheld).
According to reports, the event took place on Saturday while a birthday boy was dancing at a hotel birthday celebration and his pals were throwing money at him.
The following morning, the body of the deceased, who was reportedly from Nnobi in the Idemmili South Local Government Area of Anambra State, was discovered in the hotel’s swimming pool, where she had allegedly been discarded.
The dead was allegedly accused of scooping up some money that was being sprayed on the birthday celebration, according to sources at the site of the incident.
The girl was at the club when commotion broke out, and a man and his buddies began beating her after she was suspected of stealing money they were throwing on their friend, who was celebrating his birthday, according to the source.
“They accused her of picking up the cash they were spraying on their friend, but several witnesses claim she went after bundles of cash that one of them had put by his seat side in preparation to spray on the celebrant.
“The girl was beaten when they caught her, and even when other guests at the hotel tried to save her, they kept beating and molesting her.
Later, she was taken out of the club and her lifeless body was thrown into the hotel’s pool.
When reached, DSP Tochukwu Ikenga, a spokesman for the Anambra State Police, verified the event and stated that the birthday celebrant and his pals were already in detention while the case was being probed.
Four individuals are currently being held by us in connection with the event, the hotel management helped the police make the arrests, and our investigation is still ongoing, according to Ikenga. If possible, please give further information.
