A
clearing agent, Mr. Sikiru Olanrewaju, has lost his life after leaving his wife
and children at home to have fun with his girlfriend in the Abule Egba area of
Lagos State.
It was learnt that
37-year-old Olanrewaju died shortly after having rounds of sex with his lover
on Surulere Street.
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.
The
victim’s corpse was deposited in a morgue pending the conclusion of
investigations.
A
resident, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the deceased worked with an
aviation company at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja.
He
said, “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
resident said the landlady reported at the station, and was followed by some
operatives to the apartment where the incident happened.
It
was revealed that there was no mark of violence on the victim.
A
source said Olanrewaju’s family were immediately contacted and the police broke
the news to them.
She
said, “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
Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dolapo Badmos, confirmed the incident,
adding that investigations were ongoing.
She
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.”
