The Niger State Police Command has launched an investigation into the death of an Abuja prince, who allegedly lost his life while in the hotel along with four others. 

The deceased Sa’adu Abubakar, an official of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), is the son of the chief of Pai under Gwagwalada Area Council in the FCT, but resident in Suleja, Niger State with his family.

A ward head in Suleja and three young girls that were reportedly with him at the point of his death have been arrested.

Daily Trust on Sunday reports that the deceased was buried on Friday following an intervention by some elders to secure his remains from the police.

Efforts to talk to the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Suleja police “B” division, SP Mutala Mustapha, where the case is being handled, was not successful.

He neither picked nor returned phone calls made to him by our reporter.
