A hotel owner, Opara Macdonald, CEO of Leuven Empire Hotel and Suites, located at the Ejigbo area of Lagos, has been arrested by the Zone 2 Police Command on allegations of having carnal knowledge of a 16-year-old boy and others.

She noted that led by CSP Uba Adams, the Zone was able to unravel the case and arrested the culprit, as well as police elements, who were used to attempt to sweep the matter under the carpet.

While acknowledging that investigations are still ongoing, the ZPRO advised parents to always keep an eye on their children, and monitor their every activities.

The full statement reads:

The Zone 2 Command of the Nigeria Police Force hereby parades one Opara Macdonald ‘m’, the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Leuven Empire Hotel and Suites, Ejigbo, Lagos, following allegations of having unlawful carnal knowledge of a minor, an act against the order of nature.

This development follows a petition dated January 23, 2025, submitted to the Assistant Inspector General of Police, Zone 2 Command Headquarters, Onikan, Lagos, by one Edozie Christian ‘m’ of Isheri-Osun, Lagos, on behalf of his 16-year-old son. The petition alleged that the suspect, Opara Macdonald, engaged in unlawful sexual acts with the minor.

Upon receipt of the petition, the Assistant Inspector General of Police assigned CSP Uba Bangajiya Adams to conduct a discreet investigation into the matter.

The victim, initially fearful of speaking out due to threats allegedly made by the suspect, confided in his mother. He recounted that Opara Macdonald warned him that disclosing the incident would result in his losing his sanity. Reassured by his mother, the victim detailed how the suspect had taken him from the hotel in his vehicle to his residence at No. 4B, Oshoba Street, Akowonjo-Egbeda, Lagos, where he was forcefully subjected to unlawful sexual acts. Following the incident, the suspect allegedly provided the victim with a bottle of Lucozade Boost and a cash sum of Five Thousand Naira (₦5,000.00).

Upon this revelation, the victim’s parents reported the matter to the Isheri-Osun Police Division. Investigative actions were initiated, but rather than cooperating with law enforcement, the suspect refused to honour police invitations and instead attempted to manipulate the process. Seeking to evade justice, he escalated the matter to the Zone 2 Command Headquarters, where he was subsequently apprehended.

To ascertain the veracity of the claims, the victim underwent medical examination at Mirabel Medical Centre. Additionally, a close friend of the victim, who was present at the hotel on the day of the incident, corroborated the allegations. This friend confirmed that the suspect had been engaging in unlawful acts with the victim and had also attempted a similar act with him, which he resisted. He further presented recorded telephone conversations, chat histories, and video evidence filmed by the victim within the suspect’s residence using the suspect’s own phone.

Initially, the suspect denied knowing the victim. However, when confronted with evidence, he admitted to taking the 16 year old boy to his residence.

Furthermore, it is important to note that the suspect allegedly threatened the victim with psychological harm should he reveal the incident, and since making his confession, the victim has exhibited signs of mental distress.

Investigations also uncovered unprofessional conduct by the initial Investigating Police Officer (IPO), who removed a key witness’s statement from the case file before transferring it to the Zone 2 Command Headquarters. The IPO has since been detained and is undergoing disciplinary procedures.

Contrary to certain media reports, the medical report from Mirabel Medical Centre remains authentic and has not been tampered with in any way. The victim is currently receiving medical care, and upon completion of investigations, the suspect will be formally charged in court.

The Assistant Inspector General of Police, Zone 2 Command, urges parents and guardians to remain vigilant, closely monitor their children’s activities, and provide guidance to protect them from harmful influences.

The decomposing body of a member of the Anambra State House of Assembly, Justice Azuka, has been discovered on the 2nd Niger Bridge.

Azuka’s body was discovered by a combined team of security agencies.

The lawmaker representing Onitsha North Constituency 1 was kidnapped on December 24, 2024, along Ugwunabankpa Road, Inland Town, Onitsha.

After weeks of investigation, security operatives from Abuja apprehended the suspects late Wednesday. The arrested individuals later led authorities to the location where they had dumped the lawmaker’s remains.

Police authorities in Anambra State said details of the incident are sketchy.

However, the spokesman of the command, Tochukwu Ikenga, said police operatives have been deployed to the scene.

According to him, further details would be made known to the public in due time.

The incident marks the second kidnapping and murder of a sitting Anambra lawmaker in recent years.

In 2022, Okey Okoye, popularly known as “Okey Di Ok” from Aguata, was abducted and beheaded.

His body was later found around the Nnobi axis of the South-East state. The region has experienced a slew of violence in recent years. Gunmen have at various times attacked public facilities and killed scores of persons despite repeated assurances from government and security agencies.

The calls for secession have also reached new highs in the region in recent years. But no group has claimed responsibility for the wave of violence in the South-East.
