“He went for a party and when it was late in the night, he couldn’t go home, so he decided to lodge at a hotel in Amichi, Anambra State. He did not return home which got his family members worried."
He said the deceased was found by his family who launched a search after he failed to return home.
Ikerionwu added that even when the hotel management claimed that he slipped and died they did not contact his family or the police before taking him to the morgue.
His words:
“It was an unknown person that informed the family that their son was laying in the morgue. The family went to the morgue and found out that his testicles were missing. They confronted the hotel staff and were told that he slipped on the bathroom tiles and died.”
He further said that the family suspects foul play as they found wounds on the body of the deceased.
Family demands justice
Ikerionwu said the family and friends are appealing to the Anambra state police command to take up the case and ensure that justice is done.
However, the state police command’s spokesperson, DSP Toochukwu Ikenga, said he has no knowledge of such an incident.
