Operatives of the Lagos
State Police Criminal Investigation Department, Panti, is set to
unravel the mystery behind the death of Wale Ademola, 38, who was found
dead in a hotel in the Shomolu area of the state on December 6, 2015.
The
father of three, who was a professional printer, was said to have
retired into the hotel room after an all-night party with friends. He
and his closest friend, James were alleged to have agreed to share the
same woman for the night in order to save cost.
DAILY
SUN gathered that in the process, the deceased, who could not withstand
the ecstasy, lost consciousness. His friend and the lady left the hotel
without alerting anyone of the condition of Wale. His lifeless body was
later found when all efforts by family and friends to reach him
failed. James and two other girls who were with him that night were
arrested and are currently assisting the police to crack the case.
Meanwhile, an autopsy had been ordered to ascertain the true cause of death.
Speaking
to The Sun, The undergraduate, Bisi, who spent the night with the two
friends said: “I am a student of Ekiti State University, Ado-Ekiti and
normally we come to Lagos to hustle. My boyfriend, James asked me to
arrange some girls to keep them company for the night. I brought three
of my girls and they were distributed among the guys around.
“James
said that we will sleep in the same room with the late Wale and I
agreed. We just slept the whole night and left in the morning. He was
still alive when we left. He settled me, and drove me to the park where I
boarded a bus back to school. He later called me and said that Wale
died.
Describing
the incident as unfortunate, the hotel manager, who was on duty when
the incident happened, said that he specifically warned them against
sleeping in the same room with a girl. “I know them very well because
they are regular customers. After drinking and dancing at the bar, they
requested for a room. I told them that I had only one room available,
and also told them that I will not allow more than a couple to stay in a
room. I did not know that there was any woman in that room till the
incident happened. We got to the room and discovered that he was dead.”
Confirming
the arrests, the state police command spokesman, DSP Joe Offor said
that investigation was ongoing and the suspects, if found culpable,
will be charged to court. He advised university students, especially
the girls, on the need to face their studies.
