 Family Demands Justice Over Teen’s Suspicious Drowning at Merryhome Hotels in Aba


The family of 17-year-old Divine Odide is seeking justice following the tragic and suspicious death of their son at the swimming pool of Merryhome Hotels, located on Chief Ubani Street, Off 7Up Road, Ogbor Hill, Aba, on June 25, 2025.


Divine reportedly drowned while swimming at the hotel on June 10, 2025.

He appealed to Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti, for intervention to ensure a thorough investigation.


The case, initially reported at Glass Police Station, 7Up, Aba, has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) in Umuahia for further probe. The family is demanding transparency in the circumstances surrounding Divine’s death and urged authorities to ensure justice is served. 


Police investigations are ongoing, and no official statement has been released by Merryhome Hotels at this time of reporting.
