Guest Found Dead In Delta Hotel, Manager, Three Others Arrested

The Delta State Police Command has arrested the manager of Century Home Hotel in Owhelogbo community, Isoko North Local Government and three others over the gruesome murder of a guest identified as Bishop Sunday Ogofotha.

The spokesperson of the command, SP Bright Edafe, who confirmed the arrest in a statement on Friday, March 28, 2025, said the manager of the hotel conspired with two boys who promised him N5,000,000 to allow them into Sunday's room.

The PPRO, who paraded the arrested manager and the others, stated that [b]Sunday's corpse was discovered in the hotel[/b]lon Friday, March 21, 2025.

Edafe noted that when the deceased, an indigene of the community, arrived from Lagos for a relative's burial and checked into the hotel, he called his wife and informed her of his location.

The funeral was scheduled for Saturday but the deceased was not seen.

Relatives called his wife who informed them of his location.

Based on that information, the family members moved straight to the hotel to make enquiries but they were told by the hotel management that nobody of such came to lodge in their hotel.

After much-heated argument, the family members insisted on checking all the rooms with a bit of resistance from the hotel management.

As the check was going on, they got to a particular room and the hotel owner, Chief Joseph Ovie Oghole, resisted, claiming that the clients lodged in that particular room were making out so they should not be disturbed.

But the family members and members of the community's vigilante group broke the door and they saw the man's corpse on the bed. He was tied with rope with so many injuries inflicted on him.

The corpse has been deposited in the mortuary in Ozoro, the headquarters of the council.

 LAGOS STATE TO HOLD LOCAL GOVERNMENT ELECTIONS IN 20 LOCAL GOVERNMENT COUNCILS AND 37 LCDAs. 

In recent times, the leadership of APC in Lagos State has been inundated by the media, party members and other stakeholders on information about the conduct of the forthcoming Local Government elections , most especially if elections will hold in the 37 Local Council Development Areas - LCDAs, it has become expedient to clear the air on the needless and distractive speculation. 

We wish to inform all and sundry that the Local Government elections will hold across the state in the 20 Local Government Councils and the 37 Local Council Development Areas in the year 2025. 

Since their creation, the Local Council Development Areas have not only been the closest to the grassroots but also brought the desired developments across the state. 

We observed with keen interest the recent debates on the desirability of the existence of the LCDAs and the need to hold elections in their political offices. 

Our position as a progressive party is that we cannot discountenance the contributions of the LCDAs to the overall political and socio-economic development of the state. 

Study reveals the safest part of the plane in the event of a crash!

Read this before you book your next flight!

The notion that passengers sitting at the back of a plane have a higher chance of survival during a crash is a topic of interest and debate. While it's essential to note that airplane crashes are rare and safety measures are continually improving, researchers have analyzed data from past crashes to identify potential trends.

A study published in 2015 by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) examined the survival rates of passengers in commercial airplane crashes between 1980 and 2009. The study found that passengers seated in the rear section of the plane (behind the wing) had a slightly higher survival rate compared to those seated in the front or over the wing.
