Some suspected hired
assassins have killed Michael Ogunnusi, the owner of the Allonze Hotel (Pictured above) on
Ishawo Road, Agric, Ikorodu, Lagos State.
Punch learnt that the suspects, who entered the hotel
on a motorcycle, pretended that they were lodgers.
The security
guard who opened the gate was said to have been tied up by the armed men.
They were
said to have made straight for the victim’s room in the hotel and shot him
dead.
Punch's correspondent reliably gathered that the deceased was killed for allegedly
dating the wife of the gunmen’s leader.
It was
learnt that the suspects took Ogunnusi’s phone before fleeing the hotel.
A source
said the men were four in number and brought a car which was parked outside.
He said,
“While one was in the car, three went in on a motorcycle, pretending to be
customers; they got separate rooms to stay. However, no sooner than they got
their keys that they went to the man’s room. One knocked at his door as if he
was one of the hotel workers. As he opened the door, they opened gunfire on
him.”
The Deputy
Police Public Relations Officer, Damasus Ozoani, confirmed the incident, adding
that four suspects had been arrested.
“The case
has been transferred to the State Department of Criminal Investgation, Panti,”
he added.
