“The two were seen together earlier in the day, but when staff gained access to the room, the lady was found unresponsive,” the source said.
He said Mr Ganiyu allegedly fled the scene shortly after the discovery, leaving no immediate clue as to his whereabouts.
A security source, who confirmed the development, said the lady’s body has been deposited at the Ore morgue.
Preliminary examinations revealed no external injuries, but a full autopsy has been scheduled to determine the cause of death.
