The Ogun State Police Command has launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of Mr. Adedokun Oluyemi, the supervisor of Solution One Hotel, located in the Ago Oko area of Abeokuta, the state capital.
Reports indicate that Oluyemi’s unconscious body was discovered in his hotel room around 6 a.m. on Saturday.
According to sources, a bar assistant at the hotel, identified as Taiyelolu, found Oluyemi unresponsive after multiple attempts to reach him. Concerned by the lack of response, she alerted the police at the Oke Itoku division.
The spokesperson for the Ogun State Police Command, Omolola Odutola, stated that there were no visible signs of violence on the deceased’s body.
“The report was made by a bar attendant, Taiyelolu, who, upon finding the door locked and after several unsuccessful attempts to gain entry, forced the door open and discovered Mr. Oluyemi lying lifeless on the bed.
“Police emergency services, through the divisional police officer, were immediately dispatched to the scene, and Mr. Oluyemi was transported to the State Hospital, Ijaye, Abeokuta.
“There was no mark of violence on his body when the team of first responders arrived at the hotel,” Odutola explained.
Despite medical intervention, Oluyemi was pronounced dead shortly after arrival at the hospital.
The command’s spokesperson added that the State Criminal Investigation Department would take over the case for a thorough review of preliminary findings.
“The body has since been deposited at the State Hospital mortuary for an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death.
“The police are actively investigating the incident, and efforts are underway to notify and support the bereaved family during this difficult time,” she said.
She also extended the command’s condolences, stating, “Till then, the command commiserates with the colleagues and family of the deceased while advising for medical insurance and checkups for staff.”
This incident follows a similar case reported earlier, on March 7, when a 62-year-old hotel attendant, Abel Johnson, was found dead in his room at De-Lay Classic Hotel in Kajola Village, near Obafe Town. Johnson was last seen the night before he was discovered lifeless in his room.
