According to a news that was published by the Punch Newspaper online this evening, it was reported that the suspect in the case of an Ibadan-based Instagram cloth vendor, Adeshina Olayinka, popularly known as Khadi, who died at Wetland Hotel, Akobo, in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, is now in police custody.
It was the man who presented himself to police operatives, after hearing the news of the ugly incident online.
However, when Punch correspondent visited the hotel, the manager and supervisor were not on around, but a staff member, who spoke to Punch correspondent under the condition of anonymity, said that they would not have known, until 12 noon check out time if not for the power bank that one of the receptionists lent the deceased.
So, when we discovered that she was still breathing, we quickly called police at Akobo Police Station but unfortunately, she died before getting to the hospital.
She said, “So, we called the suspect. The man was shocked when we told him that the person he lodged with has died. We informed him about the incident so, he rushed down to the hotel to present himself to the police.
The case has been transferred to the state CID and actually, he is one of our customers here.
“He always patronises us and when he came around (before he presented himself to the police), the man said she complained that her body was weak the previous night and that was why he just allowed her to rest.”
