Two Lovers Drown On Valentine’s Day In Asaba
Tragedy struck, yesterday, in Asaba, Delta State when two
lovers reportedly drowned in a swimming pool of a popular Hotel.
Sources claimed that the said hotel (name withheld) has been a base for love
birds during festive periods especially Christmas and New Year.
LEADERSHIP reliably gathered that the ‘love birds’ had resolved in the early
hours of the day to swim after drinking at the hotel(s) pool side, against the
boy’s mother’s advice.
LEADERSHIP further gathered that the boy, a highly placed, “Asaba yuppee” had
been having problems with his step mother who allegedly placed a death curse on
him.
But his friends who disagreed with the story said he died on deaf ears.
While they were at the hotel, our informed sources said they both dived into
the pool and soon after started shouting for help to no avail.
Police spokesman in the state, ASP Famous Ajieh confirmed that the owner of
the hotel including some of the workers were being interrogated and added that
the corpses of the victims were taken to the Federal Medical Centre (FMC)
mortuary.
