A teenager, whose name has not been confirmed, died on New Year’s Day inside a swimming pool in a hotel in Owode-Ede, Osun State.
Following the incident, displeased friends and family of the deceased stormed the hotel and caused mayhem.
The deceased, according to the report, died inside the pool of the hotel, located along Osogbo-Gbongan Road, on Thursday.
However, some people who were displeased with the manner in which the hotel handled the incident stormed the premises on Friday and staged a protest.
The Acting Police Public Relations Officer, Osun Command, Emmanuel Giwa-Alade, confirmed the incident on Friday.
Giwa-Alade said investigations had commenced, promising that findings would be made public.
He said, “It wasn’t a mob action. It was the family of the victim who went back there to express their grievances, and when they arrived, the whole thing was later settled amicably. The victim died inside the hotel swimming pool.
“Investigation is being carried out. We are on the matter, and whatever we find out, we will let the public know.”
