The hotel workers also revealed that they heard a thunder strike from his window but didn’t check because of the instruction he gave while checking in.
Confirming the incident, the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Odah Loveth, said the last time he visited Nigeria was in 2017 and his family was not aware of his recent trip to the country, let alone being in Afikpo.
