Two British tourists have been found dead in Agadir, Morocco, and two other guests at the same hotel were rushed to hospital in a critical condition

The tragedy unfolded on Monday at an unnamed hotel in Agadir, a coastal city and popular resort destination for holidaymakers. At least two other guests were rushed to hospital.

Local media reports hotel staff found the dead bodies in a room and immediately alerted hotel management, who then alerted the police. The two other guests were said to be in a “critical condition” when they were taken by ambulance to the university hospital in Agadir.

Police forensics teams were sent to the hotel and examined the room, collecting samples and other evidence. The bodies were moved to the morgue at the Hassan II Regional Hospital in Agadir for autopsies.

Investigators also reportedly searched the hotel’s kitchen, roof and outbuildings.

Authorities are yet to reveal exactly what they believe to be the cause of the deaths. Some local reports mention food poisoning or a gas leak as possibilities under review.

The names of the guests involved have not been released.

A Foreign Office spokesperson said “We are aware of the deaths of two British nationals in Morocco. We are supporting their families and are in contact with the local authorities.”

It comes weeks after another Brit tourist died at a hotel in Agadir. Clare Mitchell, 31, from Bolton, jetted out from Manchester Airport for a four-day break on October 8.

Tragically, she was found dead in her hotel room the following day. Her devastated loved ones launched a fundraiser in order to have her flown back to the UK. It has now raised more than £5,800.

Her sister Angel Davies, 25, said she was a ‘diva in the nicest way’

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has confiscated suspected counterfeit cosmetics and other regulated products during an enforcement operation at Igbudu Market in Warri, Delta State.

The agency said the operation followed reports about the widespread of counterfeit products in the market.

In a statement issued at the weekend ,NAFDAC said officers from its Asaba Zonal Office led the operation, with support from the Department of State Services (DSS), the Nigerian Army and the market union.

The team visited identified shops and locations, where suspected counterfeit products were discovered and evacuated.

Among the seized items were cosmetics bearing the brand names of Listerine and Nivea.

NAFDAC also warned the public against purchasing KY Jelly lubricant currently in circulation, saying the product’s marketing authorisation holders confirmed that the last authorised supply was made over five years ago.

“According to the product’s Marketing Authorisation Holders, the last authorised supply was over five years ago; therefore, any such product currently found in the market should be treated as suspect,” the agency said.

The agency dismissed social media reports claiming its officers were attacked or chased out of the market during the operation.

It said the exercise was successfully completed, with officers accessing all identified locations and evacuating the offending products.
