In a tragic incident at a high-profile hotel in Abuja, two individuals have been detained following the sudden death of a longtime aide to former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode.
The aide, whose identity remains undisclosed, reportedly collapsed and died under mysterious circumstances, prompting authorities to launch an investigation.
Witnesses at the scene claim the aide, who had worked closely with Fani-Kayode for several years, was seen entering the hotel earlier in the day and appeared to be in good health.
However, later that evening, he unexpectedly slumped in his hotel room, leading to a frantic call for emergency assistance. Efforts to resuscitate him were unsuccessful, and he was pronounced dead on the scene.
Police confirmed the detention of two individuals who were present at the hotel at the time of the incident, as they attempt to piece together the events leading up to the aide's untimely demise.
Investigators are also reviewing CCTV footage and gathering witness statements to determine if foul play was involved.
Fani-Kayode, who has not yet made an official statement, is said to be devastated by the news. The deceased had been a close confidant and instrumental figure in Fani-Kayode's inner circle, raising questions about whether the death could have broader implications within the ex-minister's network.
The authorities have promised a thorough investigation, vowing to leave no stone unturned in their quest for answers.
Meanwhile, the incident has sent shockwaves through political and social circles, with many expressing condolences to the family of the deceased and urging the authorities to ensure justice is served.
