Customs Officer Found Dead in Hotel Room After Night with Women

A Customs officer has reportedly been found dead in a hotel room in Katsina after allegedly engaging in a threesome with some women.

An Assistant Superintendent of Customs, Lawal Tukur, has reportedly died after lodging at a hotel with three women in Katsina State, north-west Nigeria.

According to information released by security analyst Zagazola Makama, the tragic incident occurred on Wednesday, October 15, at Murjani Hotel in Katsina, where the late officer had checked in.

Hotel staff reportedly discovered the officer’s lifeless body in his room at about 8:30 a.m. and immediately raised the alarm.

Sources within the hotel disclosed that empty sachets of suspected substances were found in the room’s waste basket.

Further investigation revealed that three women — identified as Khadija Ali (34) of Dutsin Amare Quarters, Katsina; Aisha Lawal (30) of Ingawa Local Government Area; and Hafsat Yusuf (22) of Brigade Quarters, Kano — were present at the hotel during the incident.

It was gathered that Khadija and Aisha had spent the night with the deceased officer, while Hafsat visited them later and also lodged in the same hotel.

The officer’s body was subsequently taken to the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Katsina, where a medical doctor confirmed him dead. His remains were later deposited at the mortuary for autopsy.

According to Zagazola, the Nigeria Customs Service has been notified of the development, while investigations are ongoing to determine the actual cause of death.
