A woman is found dead in a hotel room in Calabar, Cross River State, and police are hunting for the man she was reportedly staying with. Reports say the incident occurs in Calabar South Local Government Area, where the female companion is discovered dead after a male guest allegedly lodged with her.
Police investigation and initial steps are reported by outlets. Vanguard reports that the Cross River State Police Command launches a manhunt for the male suspect and detains a hotel receptionist. The Punch says police launch a manhunt for the woman’s male companion and carry out investigations into the death. Both accounts describe the case as involving a guest and a female companion, with authorities treating it as a matter requiring further verification and possibly additional suspects.
While both outlets agree on the core facts—the death of a woman in a Calabar hotel room and police pursuit of her male companion—Vanguard additionally mentions the detention of the receptionist. The Punch focuses on the manhunt and the ongoing police investigation.
