According to an eye-witness, the death of the boy generated a lot of attention in the neighbourhood and attracted passers-by as well as on-lookers.

A source revealed that the dead teenager was a resident who returned recently from Ilorin, Kwara State.

The report of the tragedy is a sad turn of events for the former TV presenter turned politician who is still celebrating his appointment by Ogun State Governor, Ibikunle Amosun as part of the media and publicity committee for the Governor's second term campaign.

Police Force Public Relations Officer, ASP Keneth Nwosu, confirmed the incident adding that investigations are still ongoing. “The incident happened and as I speak, statements were obtained from eye witnesses and the hotel manager while investigations are going on.”

However, Dayo Adeneye was yet to respond to calls and SMS sent to him as at press time.

His publicist, Sunday Adebayo, was also contacted but he denied knowledge of any of such incident and stressed that the hotel was yet to be completed at his last visit about a week ago.
