As at the time of filing this report, it was, however, not clear since when the girl had been lodged in the hotel.

The incident was said to had thrown residents of Amukpe and the entire Sapele city into palpable fear and mourning.

A hotel staff who confirmed the incident to WARRI TODAY under strict condition of anonymity said the lifeless body of the lady was carefully concealed in the hotel bedsheets before being kept under the bed and covered with the bed.

The manner the corpse was concealed, however, raised suspicion that her killers might have deliberately murdered her and kept the body from the hotel management.

The incident occurred at Ebis Hotel, a about four electric poles from Sam Blossom Hotel where Miss Miracle reportedly died last two weeks.

“A customer who came to lodge,  could not withstand the foul smell in the room, this prompted the management of the hotel to start searching, that was when they found the corpse carefully wrapped with bed sheet, under the bed in the hotel room”, one of sources disclosed.
