If 50-year-old Diran Elijah, a real estate agent, had the premonition that he will die after having sex with his former wife identified simply as Idowu, at a hotel in the Agbado area of Ogun State, he might have abstained from it
But without a feeling that death was coming, Elijah contacted Idowu on the phone and they agreed to meet at the hotel around 10pm last Sunday, where they had sexual intercourse.
Elijah was said to have become unconscious and gasped for breath while resting after the sex romp.
This made Idowu to raise the alarm but it was too late as Elijah reportedly gave up the ghost at the hotel.
A resident of the area, identified only as Afolabi, stated that the incident caused anxiety in the neighbourhood.
He said, “The owner of the hotel initially wanted to lie that the man slumped outside and died. But the woman (Idowu) confessed that they had sex and afterwards, the man complained that he was tired and wanted to rest. After some minutes, he went unconscious. She called for help but the man couldn’t make it. I later learnt that they were once married to each other but lost contact after going their separate ways. They recently got talking again”.
A source close to the woman revealed that she (Idowu) “had obtained a loan from a microfinance bank and was having difficulty repaying it. She said Elijah invited her to the hotel and promised to help repay part of the loan”.
The source said, “They were ex-lovers. They had two children together as a couple but the kids died. They later divorced and remarried respectively. She obtained a loan from a microfinance bank and could not repay it. The bank sealed a house where she resides with her current husband in Ifo and she was sleeping in a church. Elijah contacted her and promised to give her money to repay part of the loan. He died after they had sex. The police arrested her but the man’s family said they were not interested in pursuing any case against her.”
The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, confirmed the incident, noting the two families had resolved to settle the matter amicably.
