The manager of Century Hotel in Owhelogbo in Owhe, Delta State, Godwin Oghene Oboirode, has been\u00a0 arrested in connection with the murder of a lodger in the hotel on Friday, March 21, 2025.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Four other suspects were also arrested over the death of the victim, who is identified as Mr Sunday Ogofadar.<\/div>\n
\nBright Edge, a superintendent of police and spokesperson of the Delta State Police Command, disclosed that the hotel manager accommodated the deceased but gave two young men, Johnson and Clement, access to to the lodger’s room after he was promised N5 million.<\/div>\n
\nHowever, the manager reported seeing only one of the young men, Johnson, while the other, Clement, was not present. When the manager later checked the room, he found it locked from the outside, and Clement had reportedly left through the back door.<\/div>\n
\nWhen Owhe entered the room, he found Ogofadar had died but failed to raise alarm.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He even lied to the wife of the deceased and relations, who came to inquire about the man, telling them that he did not know his whereabouts, as he had already checked out.<\/p>\n

However, Owhe later confessed to the details surrounding the murder after he was arrested.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
He revealed that the two young men told him they wanted to retrieve something from Mr. Ogofadar, promising to give him N5 million if they succeeded in their mission.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter about an hour, I checked on the man and found him dead. I saw Johnson while Clement left through the back door. I became afraid and told my boss that it smelled like someone had died in the hotel,” Owhe said.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
“I ran to a woman\u2019s house to spend the night. The next morning, I came out to see how the situation had been handled, and that was when the vigilante group and community members attacked me.\u201d<\/p>\n

He further revealed that Chief Ugwale, the hotel\u2019s owner, who is his uncle reported the incident to the vigilante group.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
According to him, he had known the two young men since 2013 when they brought a girl to the hotel and paid him N300,000, adding that he had not seen the girl since then.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
