Female NYSC member found dead in Abuja hotel days to end of service

A female member of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has reportedly died in an Abuja hotel, few days to the end of her service. The lady identified as Amaka Asikaogu, was said to have checked into the New England Hotel in Abuja on Saturday evening with a male friend.

Shortly after the two were served their order, the man left the hotel, leaving behind Amaka in the room. A staff of the hotel that saw the man leaving, asked about the lady that accompanied him, and he assured them that she was fine and was still in the room.

The hotel workers further placed a call to Amaka, which she answered, confirming that she was fine and alone in the room. She was said to have been alone in the room till the following day. When it was time to check out, however, Amaka was not seen. The management was worried and had to force their way to the room and found Amaka’s lifeless body in the room.

A family friend to Amaka, who confirmed the incident, told Sun reporters that the parents of the deceased sent her money after she complained that the person she was staying with asked her to leave the house.
