The hotel has now been deserted , and attempt to speak with its manager was unsuccessful as he was said to have travelled out of Asaba .

However, a bar attendant , who preferred anonymity , said the incident had thrown “the stakeholders ” into a mourning mood .

“The sad incident started like a normal argument inside the hotel room , and before we realised it, a man was down with a fatal stab.
