The Rivers State Police Command has confirmed the death of a man simply identified as Ken in a hotel in Khana Street, D-line Port Harcourt on Sunday morning after he booked a room on Saturday night.
Spokesperson Rivers State police command, SP Grace Iringe- Koko, said a Staff of the hotel reported the matter at Olu-Obasanjo Police Division.
SP Iringe-Koko said the corpse of the man has been retrieved by the Police while investigation is ongoing.
Meanwhile is not clear if the deceased logged in the hotel with a guest or not.
Speaking on the incident, a human rights advocate, Prince Wiro of Centre for Basic Rights Protection and Accountability Campaign said information available to him shows that the hotel does not have a functional CCTV camera and proper check in procedure.
Mr Wiro said the Rivers State Government through the Ministry of Culture and Tourism should set up a task force to monitor the level of compliance by hotels and guest houses as regards to check-in procedures.
