“Joy was a mother of five children. She was a food seller. She ran a restaurant close to the Police Complex in Apapa. She was married to a man from Enugu State.

The hotel workers on Friday, during the time Joy was to check out, went to her room to remind her. The door was locked and they knocked on the door. After several knocks and no answer, they forced the door of the room open. They were shocked to find her dead.

They raised the alarm and the matter was reported at the police station. The woman had come to the hotel with a partner.”

Policemen from the Apapa Police Division subsequently arrived to remove and deposit the dead body at a morgue.
