Reacting to the widespread reports, the management of Cosmila Hotel had last Monday, refuted the statement, insisting that late Miss Chinyere Awuda popularly known as “Miss Chizzy” was not beaten to death by anyone at Cosmila Hotel in Awka.

According to the hotel,
“As a matter of fact, the said event never happened at Cosmila hotels, it happened at a club house owned by cosmila as a company as also confirmed by the police.

“Findings from For the Love of Anambra shows that Miss Chizzy’s death was not due to any altercations or physical assualt as widely reported.

“Fun seekers at the club were spraying money on a celebrant who was celebrating the launch of his new clothing brand. Chizzy who was at the arena was sighted picking this monies which were clearly not hers. She did not only pick some sprayed money from the ground, she also went for bundles of money, which was gifted to the celebrant and he kept it by his seat side.

“A fun seeker who was monitoring the situation called the attention of the fun seekers and on being noticed, Miss Chizzy took to her heels and in the process went to hide at the old swimming pool which was no longer in use. She will later be discovered dead the next morning”. Those were the words of the Management of the hotel where the said party was held.

“We were later taken to the hotel but were made to wait until 4 pm when a police team came and asked if we wanted to see Chinyere.

“They took us to the abandoned swimming pool and led me in and I saw the lifeless body of Chinyere with physical injuries. They refused to [let us] take pictures and quickly moved her to the morgue.”

He said further: “My daughter is a likeable person, she is not a thief as alleged, no evidence to show that she stole. She is a murder victim, that is why we are calling for a thorough investigation of this matter. “

Meanwhile, the Police Public Relations Officer of Anambra State Police Command, had earlier DSP Tochukwu Ikenga, confirmed the incident.

He disclosed that the birthday celebrator and his friends were already in police custody while the case is being investigated.

Ikenga said, “Four suspects are in our custody in connection with the incident, the hotel management assisted the police in arresting the suspects and investigation is still ongoing. Further details shall be communicated please.”

THE CONTRADICTIONS

Whereas the perceived authentic reports states that a birthday party was held at Cosmilla Hotel, in Awka, the capital of Anambra State, the management of the hotel has informed that there was nothing like a birthday party held in the premises.

Cosmilla Hotel, according to the report as obtained from For The Love Of Anambra, it was rather a celebration of the launch of a new clothing brand that took place on the spot.

This glaring contradiction has evidently left the general public in a state of utter worry as to what is really in the offing, as even the police have confirmed having in custody the said birthday celebrant.

This is truly a worrisome situation as such has not been once mentioned in the history of the Igbo race, hence a guest being brutally assaulted to death for merely picking up sprayed money during a celebration.
