A father
of four, identified simply as Akin, has been killed by generator fumes in the
Ijora-Badia area of Lagos State, while allegedly having sex with his pregnant
lover.
It was
gathered that Akin, who had defied the lockdown directive of the government, was
found dead in his friend’s containerised shop, where he allegedly engaged in a
sex romp with his lover.
Akin’s
lover was said to be battling for her life before she was rushed to hospital. Punch
correspondent learnt that Akin, who brought his generator along with him, had
come into the containerised shop with his lover after his friend had closed for
the day last Thursday.
Punch learnt that the following morning
when the owner of the shop wanted to resume for the day’s activities, he
discovered that the door had been bolted from the back.
The
Coordinator of the Oodua People’s Congress in the area, who identified himself
simply as Mr Orebintin, said efforts to open the containerised shop proved
abortive as neighbours had to remove the cardboard attached to the roof before
they could gain access inside.
He stated,
“We are still in shock as to how it happened, because this was not the first
time the lovers had been sleeping in the containerised shop. The incident was
discovered when the sales boy, who uses the container as a sale centre, resumed
for work and found out that the container was locked from within and a
generator was working outside.
“The sales
boy drew our attention to it when he wanted to open the container. We assisted
him by forcing the cardboard attached to the roof of the container open and to
our surprise, the man (Akin) was found dead, while the lady was almost dead.”
A
resident, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told Punch correspondent that
Akin’s lover was impregnated by her late husband.
“The man
(Akin) used to sell orange at the Orile-Iganmu Market and he was a good friend
to everybody; but when the man’s wife heard about the incident, she started
cursing him and alleged that he abandoned her and their children without money
for feeding for the past three weeks,” she said.
Punch learnt that policemen from the Orile
Police Station evacuated Akin’s corpse and later released it to his family for
burial, while the pregnant lover was rushed to a private hospital, where she is
recuperating
The state
Police Public Relations Officer, Bala Elkana, who confirmed the incident,
stated that it could not be ascertained if the lovers were having sex when the
man died.
“The two
of them were found inside the containerised shop but the man was wearing his
pair of boxers, while the woman was also wearing her dress, so we could not
establish that they were having sex when the man died. They were both found
unconscious, but the man later died, while the woman survived,” he said.
