The Jigawa state police command says it has launched an investigation into the death of a 60-year-old man who suffered a medical emergency at a hotel in Dutse, the state capital, while in the company of a 20-year-old woman.
In a statement, Lawan Shiisu Adam, police spokesperson
Jigawa, said the incident was reported at about 12:50pm on Tuesday.
According to Adam, the man had checked into the hotel in
Dutse metropolis with the woman and later requested a meal but suddenly began
gasping for air.
“Upon receiving the distress report, police officers
attached to the Yalwawa Division responded swiftly to the scene and immediately
evacuated him to the General Hospital, Dutse, where he was examined by medical
personnel and unfortunately certified dead,” the statement reads.
“Police detectives thereafter secured the scene and
conducted a preliminary examination.
“During the exercise, some food items, beverages, a
suspected sexual enhancement substance, and other personal effects were
recovered for further examination as part of the ongoing investigation.
“All necessary procedures were observed to preserve relevant
exhibits and facilitate a comprehensive investigation.”
The police spokesperson said after the man was certified
dead and the required procedures were completed, his remains were released to
his family for burial at their request.
He added said the 20-year-old woman who was with the
deceased at the time of the incident is cooperating with investigators and has
been providing information to help establish the sequence of events leading to
the man’s death.
“The commissioner of police, Jigawa State Command, reassures
members of the public that the investigation will be conducted thoroughly,
professionally, and impartially,” he said.
“The Command therefore urges residents to refrain from
speculation or circulating unverified information capable of causing
unnecessary anxiety or prejudicing the investigation. Further information will
be made available as the investigation progresses.”
