Residents have spoken up about the last time they saw a woman who was found dead in a hotel room in Lagos. The hotel where the woman was found dead
A woman identified as Iya Ginika, was found dead in a Lagos hotel room. She was found dead on Friday in a hotel in Ikotun, Lagos State. Now neighbours of the woman have opened up on what transpired shortly before her death.
They said the deceased, who was identified only as Iya Ginika, had left home around 9pm on the day, telling her husband that she wanted to visit a friend in the neighbourhood.
According to Reporters, the residents on Tuesday revealed that the woman, in her 50s, had claimed that she wanted to collect something from the friend.
They added that they were shocked when news filtered in that she was found dead in Taola Hotel on Prince Adeyemi Street, Ikotun. The deceased lived on K & S Street, Abaranje Road – a few kilometres from the hotel.
The woman and her lover had stayed in the hotel around 9.30pm on Friday and paid to spend an hour. However, workers of the hotel became apprehensive when it was 12am the following day and the lovers did not check out.
One of the workers was said to have entered the room to discover that the woman was dead while her lover had fled.
The case was reported to the police at the Ikotun division.
A neighbour of the deceased who spoke with Punch Metro on Tuesday, said that she had lied to her husband, identified simply as Henry, that she wanted to visit a friend who lived on Prince Adeyemi Street.
The neighbour, who did not want her name in print, said she was shocked when she learnt that the woman died in the hotel.

“Around 9pm on Friday, she told her husband that she wanted to visit a friend on the street where the hotel is located. The husband and her children became confused when she did not return.
“It was the following day when the news of her death was broken that the husband realised he had lied to him. She was about 50 years old.
“Her husband is a motorcyclist and he tries his best to provide for the family. She used to run a lotto shop but later stopped. She sold fish and soup ingredients before her death,”
