A Nigerian lady, identified as Chinyere Awuda, has been beaten to death by fun seekers in a club in Awka, Anambra State.
It was gathered that Chinyere was lynched for allegedly picking money that was being sprayed for a celebrant at the club located inside Cosmila Hotel in Awka.
The sad incident reportedly occurred last Saturday, July 16. The lady, who hailed from Nnobi in Idemmili South Local Government Area of Anambra State, was found dead in the abandoned swimming pool of the hotel on Sunday morning, where she was dumped after being lynched.
According to Daily Post, one of the clubbers accused her of picking money that the fun seekers were spraying on their friend, who was a birthday celebrant.
A popular clubber, Mr. Gabriel, is alleged to have started the attack on Chinyere before his friends joined in.
“One of the clubbers accused her of picking money that the fun seekers were spraying on their friend, who was a birthday celebrant.
“Some others said she did not only pick money but also went for bundles of money that a clubber had stacked by his seat side, waiting to spray on the celebrant,” Daily Post quoted a source as saying.
It was learned that despite efforts made by other people in the club to rescue Chinyere, they continued to beat and molest her until she passed away.
She was later dragged outside the club, and her lifeless body was dumped into the hotel’s abandoned swimming pool.
Confirming the incident, Anambra State Police Spokesperson, DSP Tochukwu Ikenga, said the birthday celebrant and his friends were already in police custody while the case is being investigated.
A video showing the moment her body was found in the pool has surfaced on the internet. Watch below:
