A 40-year-old mobile phone repairer from Cross River State has been found dead in a guest house along Azikoro Road in the Ekeki area of Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, under circumstances that have prompted a police investigation.
The man, identified simply as Felix, was discovered unclothed in a room at the guest house in the early hours of Wednesday, 8 July 2026, after a cleaner raised the alarm.
According to reports, the woman said to have been with him was nowhere to be found when the body was discovered.
Eyewitnesses said several sachets of alcoholic drinks were recovered from the room before police cordoned off the area and evacuated the body.
The incident drew a crowd of sympathisers to the Seriake Dickson Shopping Complex, where Felix worked as a phone repairer.

Police have yet to establish the exact cause of death.
