Emmanuel also accused the hotel management of covering up by saying that their CCTV was faulty the day Esther lodged in the facility.

He said:

“I demanded to see the CCTV footage; they said their CCTV was bad on that day. They said she came to the hotel with someone without showing me any evidence. I think the hotel management knows more than they are making us believe."

The FCT director of behind bar initiative, Oby Ofili, said the group had taken up the matter.

When the news outlet contacted the hotel on Tuesday, a lady, who identified herself as Ene, said the manager was not on seat. She said he would be back by 4pm.
