Residents of the Ogbor-Hill, Aba, Abia State, have cried out to the Governor of the state, Dr Okezie Ikpeazu and the Commissioner of Police in the state CP Janet Agbede, to investigate reported cases of deaths and missing persons in one of the hotels located Aba, the commercial nerve center of the state.

Her killers are two young men, whose identities are yet to be revealed by the Hotel management even though their faces were captured by the CCTV of the Hotel.”
“Information available to us has it that over 7 murder cases have been recorded at the Hotel since the beginning of this year 2022 which the Director of the Hotel has covered by truncating investigation to save the Hotel’s name.
“Few days ago, some youths vowed to set the Hotel ablaze if the killers of the innocent young single mother of one is not unveiled.
“The Police Station is currently investigating and has released the Director of the Hotel who has not fed the Police with the necessary information of the killers of lady.
“The incessant killing going on in that hotel and why Police has refused to prosecute the Hotel Management and Staff for Conspiracy and Murder is provoking and the Governor need to do something.”
