The Ondo State Police Command on Tuesday said it had arrested two persons in connection with the death of a man, Abiodun Akintomowo, in Ondo town, Ondo State.
Akintomowo reportedly lost his life after allegedly having a sex romp with a woman suspected to be his girlfriend, in a hotel located at Akinjagunla community, on Sunday.
The State Police Public Relations Officer, Mrs Funmilayo Odunlami, who declined to reveal the identity of the suspects, said one of them was a girlfriend of the deceased while the second suspect is the owner of the hotel where the incident happened.
The PPRO said, “The man (deceased) was not feeling alright after the sexual intercourse with the lady in the hotel, so he was rushed to the hospital and later died. The two suspects are still in our custody.”
She said investigation into the matter was still ongoing while the remains of the deceased had been deposited at the morgue of a hospital in the town.
A source said the woman raised the alarm when the deceased collapsed in the hotel room after the alleged sex romp.
“The woman raised the alarm after realising that the man collapsed. The manager of the hotel and some residents raced to the scene and made frantic efforts to rescue the man. He was later confirmed dead,” the source narrated.
He added that the management of the hotel later reported the matter at the Yaba Divisional Police Station in the community. The policemen went to the scene and evacuated the lifeless body of the deceased to the morgue of the University of Medical Sciences in Ondo town.
