One of the section managers of Hotel Royal Damgrete in Umuahia, Abia State, where a Nigerian Air Force cadet is said to have drowned in the swimming pool, is allegedly brutally murdered by some Nigerian Army men.
The manager in charge of the food and beverage division of the hotel on Factory Road was identified as Mr. Achimugu James Etubi from Kogi State.
The troops allegedly tortured him to death at the military barracks on Friday morning.
According to reports, CDT Chidiebere, a NAF Tarmac Four cadet, passed away at the swimming pool on Tuesday.
After the unfortunate incident, soldiers, including one of the Cadet officers who accompanied the late Chidiebere, were ordered by the Nigerian Army, under the command of Major Inuwa, who was reportedly investigating the incident, to beat four hotel staff members who had been invited for interrogation until they passed out.
The incident that resulted in his death, according to the unnamed source, began a few days prior when a Nigerian Air Force Tarmac Four cadet officer went to the Hotel Royal Damgrete Umuahia to swim and have fun with his pals and drowned in the water.
“The Nigerian Air Force Tarmac Four cadet was identified as Cadet Chidiebere. The death of the cadet officer drew the attention of the state police and it made them begin investigation.
“In the process of investigating the death of the cadet officer, four persons were taken by the Nigeria Police Force for investigations, Mr. James Etubi inclusive. They were detained for a night and were released on bail. But a few days later, the military officers led by one Maj. Inuwa particularly, was said to have invited four persons including Mr James Etubi for further investigations, and threatened the owner of the hotel Mr. Steve Ihendigbo, to release the workers to the army or have his hotel damaged.
“The owner of the hotel now went against the police’s instructions to release them to the military just to save his hotel from attack,” the source revealed.
The source also noted that “When Mr. Steve was contacted after the killing of the manager he was scared to give full details for fear of the Nigerian military.
“The family, wife, and kids of the deceased are calling on Nigerians and relevant agencies to join voice and forces for justice in this inhuman treatment that led to the loss of life of Mr. Etubi.” [CONTINUE READING HERE]
