CHECK-IN TO MURDER: The Shocking Truth Behind Delta Hotel Killing, See Details
In a shocking turn of events, the Delta State Police Command has arrested four suspects in connection with the murder of Mr. Sunday Ogofotha, a guest at Century Home Hotel in Owheologbo, Isoko North Local Government Area of Delta State. The incident has sent shockwaves throughout the community, and a thorough investigation has revealed a chilling conspiracy involving the hotel manager and the suspects.
According to the Delta State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Bright Edafe, the late Ogofotha had informed his wife of his whereabouts before his death, which ultimately helped in tracing the crime ¹. However, when his wife tried to reach him and couldn't, she became worried and contacted his relatives. The hotel manager initially denied knowledge of Ogofotha's stay but later confessed that two suspects had offered him ₦5 million to gain access to the victim.
The hotel manager, Godwin Ogheneochuko Iboyirode, admitted to knowing the suspects and narrated his role in the crime. He revealed that the suspects had promised to give him ₦5 million if he helped them succeed in their mission. Iboyirode also admitted to having previous dealings with the suspects, including a transaction in December 2024, where they brought a girl to the hotel and gave him ₦300,000.
The investigation has also uncovered a missing POS operator and a POS machine found in the hotel, which the manager claimed was handed over to him by one of the suspects, Johnson. However, Iboyirode denied knowledge of the POS machine's ownership or its connection to the missing girl.
The police have confirmed that the hotel manager and two other suspects were directly involved in Ogofotha's death, stabbing him multiple times until he died. SP Edafe urged the public to always inform their loved ones of their whereabouts for safety reasons.
In a surprising twist, irate youths, dissatisfied with the police report exonerating the hotel owner, Chief Joshua Oghoole, mobilized and set the hotel on fire. The Chairman of Isoko North Local Government Area, Elder Godwin Ogorugba, led officials to seal off the hotel, and police sources confirm that investigations are ongoing, both into the series of killings at the hotel and the arsonists who burnt it down.
The Delta State Police Command has assured the public that they are working tirelessly to uncover the truth behind the gruesome crime. The police have arrested four suspects, including the hotel manager, and are investigating their involvement in the crime.
The police have also appealed to the public to come forward with any information that may aid in the investigation. SP Edafe has urged anyone with knowledge of the crime to contact the police, assuring that their identities will be protected.

The police have assured that they are investigating all aspects of the crime, including the hotel owner's potential involvement. However, at this time, there is no evidence to suggest that he was directly involved in the crime.
