In Awka, the state capital of Anambra, a young woman simply known as Miss Chinyere Awuda was battered to death and then placed in a hotel pool.
Last weekend’s event occurred when some partygoers at a club accused her of robbing them of their money. The woman from Nnobi, in the Idemmili South Local Government Area of Anambra State, was discovered dead in the hotel pool on Sunday morning after being battered to death and thrown there.
According to sources, the young woman was in the club when a fight ensued, and a man identified as a popular clubber, Mr. Gabriel Chinemere, and his companions began beating her.
“One of the clubgoers claimed she picked up the cash that the partygoers were throwing on their friend, who was celebrating his birthday.
Another source stated: “Some others said she didn’t just pick money; she went for bundles of money, which a clubber stacked by his seat side, waiting to spray on the celebrant.”
A frequent customer of the hotel’s club remarked, “Certain girls simply dress up, show up at the club, and start collecting money. While some people are spraying money around for their friends, these girls discreetly pocket the cash.”
It was gathered from sources that they continued to beat and molest the girl in spite of the clubgoers’ attempts to save her.
Her dead body was later dropped into the hotel pool after she had been carried outside the club.
DSP Tochukwu Ikenga, the spokeswoman for the Anambra State Police, verified the occurrence and stated that the birthday boy and his companions were already in detention while the case was being probed.
