Promise Ekong, a graduate, who completed her one-year mandatory National Youth Service about two months ago, has drowned in a swimming pool of Stanzel Grand Hotel in Gwarinpa, Abuja.
Late Ekong, an indigene of Boki Local Government Area in Cross River State, reportedly drowned while having fun at the swimming pool of the hotel last Wednesday, February 8.
It was learnt that the management of the hotel immediately reported her death to the police, but the family members of the victim alleged foul play.
A relative, who spoke to Daily Trust anonymously, said they would pursue the matter to a logical conclusion until the cause of her death is unravelled.
“It was not that day she started swimming. She was used to swimming pools very well. We were shocked about the incident. The management is yet to tell us the truth,” the family member said.
When contacted, the Public Relations Officer of Federal Capital Territory Police Command, Josephine Adeh, a Deputy Superintendent of Police confirmed the incident.
