This is the popular hotel in Onitsha that was
demolished by the Anambra State government
last week after two human skulls were
allegedly discovered inside. The hotel, called
Upper Class Hotel, is located at 8 Old Market
Road, Onitsha and is owned by business man,
Mr Bonaventure Mokwe.
The human skulls, a male and a female head,
were discovered after the Nigerian police
raided the hotel following a tip off. Mr Mokwe
has been arrested along with 10 other people.
His wife, Mrs Nkiru Mokwe, a lawyer, has
appealed to president Jonathan to save her
husband's life claiming he was set up. She said
the whole thing was a set up and the human
heads planted in the hotel by people who
wanted to destroy her husband.
"My husband is being detained in a very
dehumanising condition at SARS, Awkuzu,
and the police have denied him access to his
lawyer and relations." She said "My
husband's hotel at No 8, Old Market Road,
Onitsha which he inherited from his father,
Chief G.C Mokwe, has been demolished"
She said her husband was a real estate magnate
and there were lots of conflicts over ownership
of lands between him and some people which
led to his attempted assassination in 2009. She
also alleged that the state government was
planning to demolish other properties
belonging to Mr Mokwe and begged for
intervention.
