Mr. Lucky Okonkwo, the owner of Deploo Hotel and Suites, has been murdered in his hotel in Suleja, Niger State.
The Niger State Police Command has started investigations into the killing.
According to Punch Metro, 59-year-old Lucky was stabbed to death on
Friday by a three-man gang, suspected to be workers at the hotel,
shortly after he returned from a trip to Kaduna. The man was said to be
at the hotel for the purpose of supervision.
It was learnt that after killing the victim, the suspects took away
the Closed Circuit Television decoder of the hotel, the victim’s phones
and fled in his Peugeot 406 saloon car.
They also took away a file containing certain information about the hotel.
The security men at the hotel, who were the prime suspects, were
reported to have fled immediately the incident happened and had since
been unreachable on their telephone lines.
They were identified as Frank Anavukko, Victor Anerah and Emmanuel Adeh.
Punch Metro reports that the incident was discovered on Saturday
morning by a housekeeper who saw a pool of blood streaming out from the
victim’s office.
The matter was reported at the Madalla Police Division and some of the hotel workers were arrested.
Lucky, an indigene of Delta State, was said to be the immediate
past Vice-President of the Nigerian Association of Technology
Engineering, North-West zone.
According to Punch Metro, the victim’s first son, Paul, revealed that his father was killed around 7pm.
He explained that workers at the hotel claimed not to have known when his father was murdered.
He said, “He just returned from a trip and around 7pm of that
day, he went to his office. When his workers didn’t see him and they
discovered he was not reachable on his telephone lines, they called my
mum the following day.
“She rushed down to the hotel and met him in a pool of blood.
The workers claimed they didn’t know when it happened. They said they
only saw three people going into his office and the same set of people
driving out in his car. They said they also saw those people with the
CCTV decoder and when they queried them, they said, ‘Oga asked us to go
and repair it’.
“Aside from the CCTV and the car, those men also left with his
money and other valuables. We don’t really know the motivation for the
murder.”
Paul said the family reported the case to the police at the Madalla
division, adding that some of the workers on duty at the time had been
arrested.
He urged the police to speed up investigations and bring the perpetrators of the crime to book.
A source told Punch Metro that the father of five struggled with his assailants before he was overpowered and killed.
He said, “The man was a retired PHCN worker. He was killed on
Friday night. On Saturday morning, a man cleaning the hotel saw a pool
of blood coming out of his office and raised the alarm. At the scene,
there was a knife with which he was killed. There were also signs of
struggle as the office table was broken. He had a deep knife cut in his
palm, probably while he was holding the knife from piercing into him.
They drove away his grey colour Peugeot 406 saloon car, with number
plate KUJ-424 BB. They also made away with a file containing some
information about the hotel.”
It was gathered that the case had already been transferred to the
State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, Minna.
A source said the fleeing hotel guards were the prime suspects.
He said, “One of them is already in Port Harcourt, Rivers
State. How can something happen on Friday and in less than 24 hours, you
have already disappeared to Port Harcourt if not that you are
culpable?”
The Police Public Relations Officer, Niger State Police Command,
Elkana Bala, said the police were closing in on the suspects, adding
that information available to the police showed Lucky was killed by his
workers.
He said, “He was suspected to have been murdered by his
workers; he was not killed by outsiders. After the incident, those male
workers ran away with his Peugeot 406. We are trailing them. The SCIID,
Homicide section, has commenced full investigations into the matter.”
