Four days after a woman was beheaded at a hotel in the state capital, the government of Adamawa State has given six weeks ultimatum for all hotels to install Close Circuited Television (CCTV) cameras.
On January 19, 2024, SaharaReporters reported how on Friday, staff members of a hotel woke to find the decapitated body of a woman in Yola, the Adamawa State capital.
It was also reported on the following day that a man, Auwal Garba, identified the woman beheaded in a hotel in Adamawa State as his former wife.
Garba confirmed to the police on Friday that the deceased known as Bilkisu Alhaji Idi, murdered at Happy Day Guest Inn on January 18, 2024, was his ex-wife.
The State Deputy Governor, Kaleptapwa Farauta during an emergency security meeting with Hotel proprietors in Yola on Monday directed them to install CCTV cameras.
She warned that failure of the hoteliers to unconditionally comply with the directive would be appropriately sanctioned.
Responding, the chairman of hoteliers in the state, Samuel Adwata, assured the deputy governor that the group would comply with the directive.
