The Lagos State Police Command has sealed Signatious Hotel in the Ajao Estate area of the state following the mysterious death of Mattias Airenekhueme at the facility, after PUNCH Metro reported the incident.

Mattias was said to have attended a pool party at the hotel on Saturday, January 31, where he had gone to sell tickets and earn money before the tragedy occurred.

His father, Henry Airenekhueme, told our correspondent that he received a distress call that day from one of Mattias’ elder brothers informing him that the young man had been rushed to the Isolo General Hospital and that a family member was urgently needed.

According to him, he arrived at the hospital only to find his son’s lifeless body still inside the vehicle that brought him to the facility.

Airenekhueme disclosed that three persons — the hotel manager and two of Mattias’ friends — were initially arrested in connection with the incident.

Speaking with PUNCH Metro on Thursday, a police source, who did not want to be identified because he was not permitted to speak with the media on the matter, confirmed that operatives of the State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti, had sealed the hotel as part of ongoing investigations.

The source added that the organiser of the pool party had also been arrested, bringing the total number of suspects in custody to four. Punch
