Police inspector found dead in Abuja hotel room after meeting online lover

A tragic incident unfolded in the Gwagwalada Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, as a police inspector, identified as Lawal Ibrahim from the Kwali Division, was found dead in a hotel.

The unfortunate event occurred at Palasa Guest Inn last Thursday morning after the inspector reportedly met with a woman he had connected with online three months prior.

According to reports, the inspector had invited the woman, identified as Maryam Abba from Dutse, Jigawa State, to join him at the hotel. Eyewitnesses revealed that the pair checked into the hotel on Wednesday evening and engaged in intimate relations.

The following morning, around 6 a.m., they reportedly had another round of intimacy, after which the inspector began breathing erratically and became unresponsive. Alarmed by his condition, Maryam tried to revive him by sprinkling water but to no avail.

She quickly informed the hotel manager, Danlami Palasa, who contacted the Gwagwalada police division. Officers arrived at the scene to find the lifeless body of the inspector. His remains were later taken to the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital, where doctors confirmed his death.

Authorities recovered several items from the hotel room, including watermelon, a suspected aphrodisiac drug, a phone charger, and the deceased’s police identity card. Maryam has since been taken into police custody for questioning as investigations into the cause of death continue.

A police source from the Gwagwalada division confirmed the incident and assured the public that efforts are underway to determine the exact circumstances surrounding the inspector’s death.
