The operatives who scared guests and residents by shooting sporadically in the air were alleged to have also assaulted guests of the hotel, disposing of their money, phones, and other valuables.

Many guests and customers at the hotel were allegedly inflicted with several degrees of injuries following the invasion of the hotel.

At the time of filing this report, efforts to get the manager of the hotel to speak on the incident proved abortive.

The EFCC, too, at press time, had yet to comment on the alleged invasion of the hotel.
