A young lady identified as Chinyere Awuda was allegedly beaten to death by fun seekers in a club inside Cosmila Hotel in Awka, the Anambra State capital.
According to the Nigerian Tribune, the lady who hails from Nnobi, in Idemmili South Local Government Area of Anambra State, was beaten to death for allegedly stealing bundles of cash being sprayed on a birthday celebrant.
Her body was found in the swimming pool of the hotel on Sunday morning, July 16, 2023, where she was dumped after being lynched by a popular clubber, and his friends.
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 told the publication.
A regular clubber at Cosmila Hotel told reporters 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 them. Because men are already drunk in clubs, the girls get away with the money. I was not in the 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,”
It was gathered 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 was dumped into the hotel’s swimming pool.
Spokesperson of the State Police Command, DSP Tochukwu Ikenga, who confirmed the incident, said the birthday celebrant and his friends have been arrested 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. An investigation is still ongoing,” the PPRO added.
