Transcorp Hilton Hotel, one of Nigeria’s leading five-star hotels, is facing allegations of corruption, abuse of office, and extortion by staff and management. Information available to us indicates that both foreigners and Nigerians who book reservations in advance often face difficulties securing their allocated rooms.  A guest may book a suite but later be assigned a room of lesser value than what was reserved. In some cases, guests are allegedly asked to pay additional money as a bribe to receive the room they originally booked. An insider, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said that last week some expatriates arrived from Lagos to attend a conference in Abuja.  Their embassy had already booked different rooms at Transcorp Hilton Hotel.

Such an allegation is not only unfounded but also a clear attempt to blackmail a respected military officer whose entire career has been defined by discipline, patriotism, and an unwavering commitment to the unity of Nigeria.
