The Jigawa State Police Command has opened an investigation into the death of a 60-year-old man who died at a hotel in Dutse after he had checked in with a 20-year-old woman. Police say items recovered from the room included food, drinks and a suspected sexual performance-enhancing drug, which investigators are treating as relevant to establishing the cause of death.
What the police say happened
According to the Jigawa Police Command, the man was found dead at the hotel following what officers describe as a preliminary investigation now under way. The body has since been released to his family for burial, in line with the family's request.

Jigawa's Commissioner of Police assured the public that the investigation would be conducted professionally, fairly and without bias. He also appealed to residents of the state to avoid circulating rumors or unverified claims about the incident, saying the Command would issue updates as the investigation progresses.
