A 55-year-old man, Abdulwaheed Lamidi, has died while lodging with his girlfriend at the City International Motel, Council Bus-Stop, Ikotun area of Lagos State.
Lamidi and his 32-year-old lover had reportedly met online and after a series of conversation, agreed to be lovers.
Stonix News gathered that the relationship had blossomed and the two lovebirds decided to consumate it at a motel.
So, the lady, last Saturday, travelled from another state to meet Lamidi at the motel as agreed.
They subsequently spent the night together in a room in the motel to satisfy their libido.
However, on Sunday morning, things were said to have taken another turn when the girlfriend, whose name was not mentioned, suddenly fled out of the room screaming for help.
Stonix News further gathered that when some motel workers rushed into the room, they found Lamidi lying motionless on the ground.
“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 stone dead.
“The girl said she came to Lagos to meet the man as he promised to marry her.
“She said 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 8.40a.m 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 in the know noted.
Stonix News further learnt that the man’s corpse was taken to a mortuary, while the lady was arrested for interrogation.
Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), SP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the incident.
He said the suspect declined to involve her parents in the investigation.
“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,” Hundeyin.
