Nigerian police have arrested two suspects in connection with hotel serial killings in the southern city of Port Harcourt.

At least eight women have been found strangled in different hotel rooms in Nigeria’s oil capital in Rivers state since July.

Outrage over the killings has prompted a social media campaign – using the hashtags #ProtectPHWomen and #ProtectPhGirls - to demand that the authorities do more to stop them.

Police told the BBC that one man was arrested after a tip-off that he had offered around $80 (£70) to spend the night with a woman.

The other suspect had been arrested in Kaduna in central Nigeria.

Rivers state police chief Mustapha Dandaura says a special task force - including the region's police, hotel associations and tourism board - had been set up to improve security at hotels.

Any hotel in the state that did not comply with new guidelines, which include installing CCTV cameras and asking guests for documentation when registering, would be closed down, he said.

Good

Nice

U above me

Thank God

Kudos.. With the cctv footage released time is up for the whole gang

I am happy someone was arrested but the BBC news like to carry this kind of news about Africa. If it was a good news like say maybe an invention from port harcourt they won’t feature the news on their website.

Well done.

I pray they are the right persons involved.

Suspects We need the damned culprits!!!

Stupid BBC. You will not report genocide ongoing in Nigeria and government rascality. Nonsense!

Let's see their faces!

Shutdown Anyone Who Flout The Guidelines

Good news

I hope they are the real suspects...."Because this our failed police institution can arrest innocent people as suspects just to save their faces"...... Nonsense and Ingredients....sighssss.


If it was to be a country where things are working those serial killers would have been apprehended since.... FAILED Leaders, Failed State.

Gradually zoo is falling

No behaviour profiler

No forensic investigative unit


Nothing works for Sh1thole

OTHET WORDS FOR SUSPECT

SUSPECT = CULPABLE CULPRIT = LIABLE WITNESS = CULPABLE ACCOMPLICE = PERSON OF INTEREST

M

The police really need to do more than just getting unknown suspect arrested, if na Yahoo boys we go just see their picture everywhere.

Good move, any hotel that doesn't have a functioning CCTV should be shut down, though this can lead the serial killer to changing his modus operandi, and location, but he is bound to make a serious mistake or fall into a trap

are you lacking something?

Wen dem girl hear dollars ,,,they always end up action g foolish,,,80 bucks not even up to 40k

I hope they don't apprehend innocent fellow oooooo..this is Nigeria... Everyone is a suspect in the eye of those black uniformed SPECIES

Not just PH alone, the nation over! Every hotel should install CCTV. What's not to stop the perpetrators from moving to another state with lax requirements.

Police una sure say na the real killer(s) be that ?

Good news and welcome development. How can you tell me a hotel shouldn't install CCTV and cams just because they want to ensure privacy of clients?! Its never heard of!!
