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 .
GOALPOACHER NEWS 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 .
GOALPIACHER NEWS reported 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.
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 our 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 .
GOALPOACHER NEWS 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 .
