A 22-year-old woman had a close shave with death last Saturday at a
hotel in FESTAC Town, Lagos. She was allegedly drugged by a South
African businessman until she went into coma.
The incident occurred at Carlton Gate Hotel, 7th Avenue area of the town
in the evening on that day. It was gathered that the victim, Awe
Rebecca, a resident of 21, Gani Adams Street, Shoba Town, came into the
hotel about 3pm to meet a guest who was already lodged in a room.
The hotel’s manager, Andrew Iyere, said after about two hours in the
room, the guest came down and stood by the stair-case, inviting a porter
into his room.
