A 62-year-old hotel worker, Abel Johnson, was discovered dead in his room at De-Lay Classic Hotel, located in Kajola Village near Obafe Town, Ogun State.
The Ogun State Police Command’s spokesperson, Omolola Odutola, confirmed the incident to Drivetvnews on Friday.
According to reports, Johnson was last seen in good health around 11:00 a.m. on Thursday before retiring to his room for the night. Concern arose when he failed to show up for work the following morning.
Odutola stated that Johnson’s colleague, Shobayo Ahmed, along with a woman identified as Johnson Blessing, reported the situation to the Owode Egba Police Division at approximately 1:00 p.m. on Friday.
She told Drivetvnews that officers who arrived at the scene conducted a physical inspection of the body and found no visible signs of violence.
“He was discovered inside the hotel room. There were no indications of foul play when detectives from the Owode Egba Division examined the scene,” Odutola said.
She added that photographs were taken, and Johnson’s body was transported to the State Hospital in Ijaye, Abeokuta, for an autopsy.
A similar case was reported by Drivetvnews in November 2024 when the lifeless body of 51-year-old Sunday Abidoye was found in a room at Creestar Hotel, GRA, Sagamu.
Similarly, in February 2025, police inspector Haruna Mohammed was discovered dead at Super G Royal Hotel, situated in the Anthony Uzum Estate, Oyeyemi Akute area of the state.
