Hotel director arrested for reportedly firing a firearm at a hotel guest and workers after an altercation about payment for a room.

Kingsley Enageghe, the director of a hotel in Lagos state’s Surulere axis, was arrested by the police on Thursday, January 5, for reportedly shooting at a hotel visitor and one of his employees over the payment for a room on the property.

According to eyewitnesses, Enageghe had asked his staff to explain a room that was being used by one of his clients. According to reports, the staff informed Enageghe that the visitor had paid for the lodging he had previously occupied.

The guest declined to pay the day’s charge, despite the director’s insistence that they do so. After getting into a fight, Mr. Engeghe allegedly walked into his office, pulled a single-barrel gun, and shot his employer and the visitor in the legs, inflicting injury.

When the injured employees reported the incident to the divisional police station, the suspect was quickly taken into custody and the pistol was retrieved.

SP Benjamin Hundeyin, a spokesman for the state police headquarters, said:

“The suspect has been taken into custody and will face legal action as soon as the investigation is finished.”
