Chiefuna disclosed that she only told the deceased had paid for the room when she resumed duty on November 6 but never saw him.

She said when the lodger was not seen in the reception area, she took a spare key to room 305 and opened the door, where she met Adegoke in the room lying face up and wrapped in a duvet exposing only his face on the bed.

According to her, she initially thought Adegoke was sleeping but became scared when she shook his leg.

She said she immediately informed the manager on duty Adeniyi Aderogba of her discovery.

The receptionist said Aderogba also went into the room to check Adegoke and declared that the lodger was dead.

She said Roheem Adedoyin, the MD of the hotel, arrived at the hotel after the body had been discovered.

According to her, Adeniyi later took her and Esther Asigor, the receptionist that was to take over duty, to the MD office where Adedoyin administered an oath of confidentiality to them in order not to disclose what transpired.
