This is the popular hotel in Onitsha that was brought down by the Anambra State government last week after two human skulls were allegedly discovered inside the building. The hotel, known as "Upper Class Hotel", is located at 8 Old Market Road, Onitsha and is owned by a business man, Mr Bonaventure Mokwe.
The human skulls being, a male and a female head, were discovered after the Nigerian police raided the hotel following a tip off. Mr Mokwe has been arrested along with 10 other people.
His wife, Mrs Nkiru Mokwe, who is a lawyer, has appealed to president Jonathan to save her husband's life claiming that it was a set up. She stated that the whole thing was a set up and that the human heads were planted in the hotel by people who wanted to pull her husband's name to the mud.
“My husband is being detained in a very dehumanising condition at SARS, Awkuzu, and the police have denied him access to his lawyer and relations." She said "My husband’s hotel at No 8, Old Market Road, Onitsha which he inherited from his father, Chief G.C Mokwe, has been demolished"
She said her husband was a real estate manager and there were lots of conflicts over ownership of lands between him and some people which led to his attempted assassination in 2009. She also alleged that the state government was planning to demolish other properties belonging to Mr Mokwe and begged for intervention.
