'We refused to pay bribe'
The managers of both businesses have been arrested, but the owner of Prodest Home has denied that his hotel was open.
"The hotel was not operating and 70% of the staff had been sent away," Gogorobari Promise Needam told the BBC.
"There were only three people on ground.
"[Officials] came in and were asking for bribe, they said they would let us operate if we gave them money but we said we were not operational so had no money to give," he said.
The Rivers state government denies the accusation.
