A middle-aged man identified as Fadayomi Kehinde aka Ejiogbe has slumped and died after allegedly being involved in a sex romp with a female friend at a hotel in Ikere-Ekiti, headquarters of Ikere local government area of Ekiti.
The deceased said to be a popular herbalist died on Monday in the hotel room where he reportedly lodged a woman said to be the wife of a shepherd of a white garment church in the same town.
Immediately after the two allegedly had sexual relations, the herbalist was said to have slumped and lost consciousness, prompting the lady to call for help from the hotel room.
It was gathered that hotel staff and some associates of the herbalist rushed him to a hospital where he was confirmed dead.
Associates of the late native doctor were alleged to have attributed his death to “magun”, a local charm placed on married women by their husbands to harm lovers who sleep with them.
Ekiti Police PRO, DSP Sunday Abutu, confirmed the incident to newsmen.
He said the police received a report from hotel staff and they attended the scene where the body of the deceased was taken to the hospital and confirmed dead.
He, however, stated that he cannot confirm if the deceased was a herbalist.
“Yes, we can confirm the death of the man in one of the hotels at Ikere-Ekiti on Monday. His corpse has been retrieved and deposited at the morgue.
“Let me quickly tell you that the woman in question is with us already as we commence investigations to unravel the cause or otherwise of the man’s death,” the PPRO said.
