Zagazola learnt that the incident occurred at Sun Heaven Hotels Limited located at 191a, Adeleke Adedoyin Street, off Kofo Abayomi Street, Victoria Island, in the early hours of October 7, 2025.
Sources said that the Chief Security Officer of the hotel, Mr. Sunday Isadeha, reported the incident to the Police at about 4:30 p.m. after the foreign guest was discovered lifeless on the floor of his room (Room 114), where he had lodged since October 2.
A team of detectives from the Victoria Island Police Division visited and photographed the scene. According to the Police, no marks of violence were observed on the deceased’s body.
