The Rivers State Police Command on Saturday sealed a brothel on Azikiwe Street, Mile 2, in the Diobu area of Port Harcourt, where a 40-year-old man identified as Enuduisu Odili, died during a sex romp with a sex worker.
The command said it took into custody the manager of the brothel, as well as the sex worker in whose room the deceased died. It was gathered that Enuduisu checked into the brothel on Thursday night, while his remains were discovered on Friday morning. His family on Saturday alleged foul play and demanded thorough investigation into the incident.
The younger brother of the deceased, Chukwuemeka Odili, who spoke to our correspondent in Port Harcourt, urged the Rivers State Commissioner of Police, Joseph Mukan, to unravel the mystery behind his brother’s death. He said, “We were shocked when we received the news of the sudden death of our brother from the police on Friday, December 4, 2020. “We suspect foul play between the hotel management and the suspect. We want justice for our brother.”
A spokesman for the state police command, Nnamdi Omoni, said the matter had been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department. He said, “The place was temporarily sealed off to forestall any form of breakdown of law and order in that area or damage to the facility. The manager of the place is in our custody. The prostitute in whose room the man died is also with us and investigation is ongoing. The matter has been transferred to state CID.”
