The Police at Ajao Estate led by the Divisional Police Officer, CSP Redengha Timpa, have arrested four suspects over the death of a 32-year old man, Biodun Pedro, who was found dead inside the swimming pool of a popular hotel in Lagos.

Source reports that the incident happened at the popular hotel, Ibis Royale, located at 41 Murtala Mohammed International Airport Road, Ajao Estate, Lagos.

The suspects were Berabavo Justice, Paul Zeruma, Aigbedion Friday and the late Pedro’s friend, Paul Olowu.
They were detained at the Police Station while the corpse of the deceased was deposited at the Isolo General Mortuary for autopsy test. What could have led to the death of the deceased was still a surprise to many who heard what happened as they wondered if there was actually a management in place at the hotel.

Correspondent gathered that the late Pedro went to the hotel to drink with his friend, Olowu and was later found floating on the pool for several hours before the management later discovered the floating corpse. Hence, the management went to the Ajao Estate Police Station and reported the incident which led to the arrest of the suspects, who were detained at the station.

Source investigation revealed that there was no safety measures put in place to monitor and protect customers, as such there was none available by the pool side by the management.

When our correspondent visited the hotel, Ibis Royale, the management declined to speak on the matter and referred him to the Police.
At the Ajao Police Station, the DPO, CSP Timpa, declined to speak to our correspondent and also referred our reporter to the Police PRO.

The management has also commenced operation at the pool after they flushed the water therein giving the suspicion that the deceased may not have died inside the pool.
