Sex Romp Gone Sour As Father of Four Dies of Generator Fumes

Published

on

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.

Our correspondent 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.

PUNCH Metro learnt 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.

Policemen from the Orile Police Station, it was learnt, 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.

Presidency Slams Contractor over Benin-Asaba Road Failure

Published

on

The Presidency has blamed the deplorable condition of the Benin-Asaba Expressway on the failure of the contractor to act professionally.

Special Adviser to the President on Media and Public Communications, Sunday Dare, stated this during an interview on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on Wednesday while reacting to the condition of the highway.

Dare said that while the road has been a difficult one that had transcended about three or four presidents, whatever palliative works the contractor carried out on the road were not professionally done.

He, however, said the incident should be treated as an isolated case and not be used to assess the state of road projects across the country.

The President’s aide spoke amid several complaints by motorists and commuters on the poor state of the road.

On Tuesday, the Minister of Works, David Umahi, inspected the Benin-Agbor-Asaba road in Edo State, where he also apologised to commuters over its current state.

Benin-Agbor Road Gridlock Worsens, Motorists, Commuters, Residents Lament

Published

on

The traffic gridlock along the Benin-Agbor Road has continued for days, leaving motorists, commuters and residents stranded for hours as the situation worsens.

The prolonged gridlock, which is being attributed to the deteriorated condition of the road and failed portions along the route, is disrupting commercial activities and making daily commuting increasingly difficult.

According to reports, motorists have continued to express frustration over the hours spent in traffic, saying the situation is taking a toll on their businesses, vehicles and daily activities.

One of the drivers lamented that the road has suffered years of neglect under successive governments, saying repeated calls for intervention have not produced a lasting solution.

He said the poor condition of the road, combined with the heavy volume of vehicles using the route, has made movement particularly difficult, with some motorists spending several hours on journeys that would ordinarily take a fraction of that time.

Residents along the route are also expressing concern over the impact of the gridlock, as the congestion is affecting the movement of people and goods and disrupting commercial activities in communities along the corridor.

The Chairman of Ikpoba-Okha Youth Association, Kingsley Osenmwingiewho, joined the call for urgent intervention, appealing to the Federal government to expedite repairs of the failed portions of the Benin-Asaba Road.

Osenmwingiewho particularly called for immediate attention to the Benin-Agbor Road bypass axis, where the condition of the road has become a major source of concern to motorists and residents.

He said rehabilitating the failed sections will not only ease the present gridlock but also improve the movement of people, goods and services along the busy Benin-Asaba corridor.

For motorists and residents who have continued to endure the daily traffic nightmare, the appeal is for authorities to move beyond temporary measures and begin urgent, lasting repairs of the road.

As the gridlock persists, road users are hoping that government intervention will come soon to restore normal traffic flow and relieve the pressure on commuters who have been stranded for hours.
