Body Discovered in Yenagoa Guest House
A 40-year-old man identified only as Felix, reportedly from Cross River State, was found dead in a guest house along Azikoro Road in the Ekeki area of Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, following an alleged sexual encounter with an unidentified woman. The incident occurred in the early hours of Wednesday, July 8, 2026, after a cleaner raised the alarm.
Woman Missing; Alcoholic Drinks Recovered
The deceased was reportedly discovered naked in the room. The woman said to have been with him was nowhere to be found. Eyewitnesses reported that several sachets of alcoholic drinks were recovered from the room before police cordoned off the area and evacuated the body. The incident drew sympathisers to the Seriake Dickson Shopping Complex, where the deceased worked as a mobile phone repairer.
Three Taken into Custody
Three persons were reportedly taken into custody in connection with the incident, including the guest house owner and the cleaner. The deceased's brother, Dennis, was also briefly detained after he was found with Felix's mobile phone but was later released after explaining that the device had been handed to him by a phone charging operator when efforts to locate his brother failed.
Police Investigation Ongoing
Police have yet to establish the exact cause of death, while efforts are ongoing to identify and locate the woman who was reportedly with the deceased before the incident.
