A Lagos-based man, Abdulwaheed Lamidi, has given up the ghost while cooling off with his online lover at City international motel in the Ikotun area of Lagos.
It was gathered that the two lovers met online and arrange to meet physically in Lagos where Lamidi was based.
The lady whose identity has not been given traveled from her state to meet Lamidi at the motel in Lagos.
Findings show that the two love birds passed the night together at the motel but the unexpected happened in the morning.
An eyewitness said the lady suddenly cried out to seek help in the early hours of Sunday morning
“The girl said the man wanted to enter the toilet but slumped and fell on the ground. A doctor that works in a hospital close to the motel was called and when the doctor got to the room, he certified the man dead.
“The girl said she came to Lagos to meet the man as he promised to marry her; she came with some property and had the intention of moving into his house to be his live-in lover. Instead of going to the man’s house, they went to the hotel and they were in the room when the girl ran out to call for help because the man slumped.
“So, when people rushed into the room, they found him lying unconscious on the ground. The incident happened around 8.40 am on Sunday but the girl arrived from another state on Saturday. The girl said she met the man online and that they had been chatting,” the source added.
However, the lady has been arrested by the police for interrogation whilst the corpse was taken to a mortuary in Lagos.
Meanwhile, Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, has confirmed the incident, saying that the suspect doesn’t want her parent involved in the investigation.
He said, “We have contacted the deceased’s family and they have shown up. They are applying to just get their corpse. They said they were not interested in any criminal investigation but the command is still considering their application through its legal department.
