Mr Okesu is said to have checked into the hotel room on Friday, September 2 with his driver, Sylvester Attah.

The driver, however, left to lodge in a different hotel, leaving the vehicle in the custody of the MCE.

According to hotel staff, Mr Kofi Okesu was seen moving about in the hotel on Saturday and even receiving some guests.

However on Sunday, he was not seen in the morning and in the afternoon and efforts to reach him via mobile phone proved futile as his phone was not answered.

His driver had also tried to reach him as they had planned to return to Dambai on Sunday, September 4.

An official complaint was lodged with the Police by the hotel manager and the Police broke into the room only to find the body in a supine position in bed naked with his left arm hanging beside the bed.

A careful examination on the body by health professionals found no marks of violence, but traces of spermatozoa on his thigh.

According to the officials, the drops of spermatozoa suggest a possible sexual act before his death.
