A 37-year-old man, Sikiru Olanrewaju, reportedly died in his sleep after having rounds of sex with his girlfriend on Surulere street in the Abule Egba area of Lagos State, PUNCH reports.
The report stated that the girlfriend alerted neighbours after discovering in the morning that he was dead.
The girlfriend’s landlady reported the case at the Oke-Odo Police Division.
The lover was said to have raised the alarm which drew the attention of residents, including the landlady, who reported at the Oke-Odo Police Division.
Lagos Police, Public Relations Officer, SP Dolapo Badmos, who confirmed the incident said:
The man was allegedly found dead in a room in the Abule Egba area after spending the night with his girlfriend. A team of police detectives from the Oke-Odo Police Division visited, examined, and photographed the scene. We discovered that there was no trace of violence on the body. The corpse has been deposited in a morgue.
A resident, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the deceased worked with an aviation company as a clearing agent, at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja.
“The man was married, but he had a girlfriend who lived in Abule Egba. On August 23, he had finished from work when he called her on the telephone that he would be sleeping at her place.
The girlfriend said she told him not to come because he was married, but he insisted on passing the night at her house.
The lady said when he got to her place, they ate the same food and drank the same water. They had sex, after which they slept.
She said around 5AM, she woke up to go to work and discovered he was stiff. She said she tried hard to wake him up, but he didn’t respond. She said she was too confused to know what to do and waited for about three hours before raising the alarm, which drew the attention of people, including the landlady,” the neighbour said. According to PUNCH, a source said Olanrewaju’s family were immediately contacted and the police broke the news to them.
“The family said they don’t want the police to investigate anything. They said they had received the news in good faith and that the corpse should be released for burial in accordance with Islamic rites. I am not sure his wife has been informed because she did not follow them to the station. But obviously, she will not receive the news well,” the source said.
