The source added that an autopsy will be conducted on the remains of the deceased at the Federal Teaching Hospital, Katsina, as part of the ongoing investigation.
“Yes, the incident happened, and we are investigating it, but it is not what other media outlets had earlier reported. I know evidence will soon be out once the police conclude their investigation. And, specifically, the proprietor of the hotel, alongside some management staff and those who were on duty late Tuesday and Wednesday when the officer died, together with the three alleged ladies who were said to have been with the deceased, are with the police in the state to help in the investigation.”
