“When the housekeeper got there he saw the man, he went and call his manager and he came, luckily for them, his relations were already coming because they said he came from Ghana.
“He was rushed to the hospital in Ughelli there and when they got there, the doctors confirmed him dead on arrival.
“We as a corporate organisation, we decide to inform the police and a statement under caution was taken from the management before we talked about bail and all that.
“I think the next thing now is to wait for the autopsy report and know the cause of his death”
