DAMATURU — A lady hotel attendant at Ga’at Hotel, a three-star hotel, was allegedly killed by a police corporal attached to Criminal Investigation Department, Thursday night.

The attendant, identified as Rebecca David, was shot by the corporal who sources said appeared drunk.

One of the people that brought her corpse to General Sani Abacha Specialist Hospital in Damaturu confirmed that the policeman shot the lady in the head which killed her instantly before she could be rushed to the hospital.

When Vanguard visited the home of the deceased, the parents and relatives were still in grief.

The parents said the only thing they wanted from the government and the owner of the hotel was for the police corporal that killed their daughter to be punished.

“We want the authority to come to our rescue and make sure the policeman that murdered our daughter does not go scotfree,” the father said.

Meanwhile, the corporal is currently in detention, as confirmed by the state Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Mr Nansak Chagwa pending the conclusion of investigation into the matter.
