In a statement issued on Sunday by Mike Abu, speaking on behalf of the family, it was disclosed that a wake will be held in her honour at her family residence in Masaka, Karu local government area of Nasarawa State.
According to the statement, Aladi’s body will leave Abuja for her hometown, Olaidu, Edumoga Ehaje in Okpokwu local government area of Benue State, on Monday, where she will be buried at the family compound the same day.
“The family is deeply saddened by the untimely death of our beloved daughter. We appreciate the public’s concern and request prayers for strength as we lay her to rest,” Abu stated.
Police reports indicate that the deceased was checked into the hotel by a male companion, who later left the premises alone, prompting suspicions.
The hotel’s staff reportedly discovered Aladi’s unconscious body during routine service rounds and promptly alerted authorities.
Efforts to revive her at a nearby medical facility proved unsuccessful.
The Federal Capital Territory Police Command confirmed the incident and stated that investigations are ongoing, though no arrest has been made at the time of reporting.
“We are working diligently to identify and apprehend the suspect. All leads are being followed,” a police spokesperson said on Sunday.
As the family prepares for burial, calls for justice continue to mount, with the public urging law enforcement to ensure that Aladi’s killer is brought to book.
