The wife of a Lagos State socialite, identified only as Josephine, has been killed after sex romps with her boyfriend in a guesthouse in the Isheri Olofin area of the state.

According to Punch, Late Josephine had gone to the guesthouse with her boyfriend, Augustine Dunkwu last Tuesday around 2.30pm.

They were said to have drunk different brands of beer after which they went into a room.

Our correspondent was told that after about 45 minutes of marathon sex, the woman fainted.

When efforts to resuscitate her reportedly failed, the suspect allegedly dressed up and left the guesthouse.

The receptionist, who became suspicious that Dunkwu left without his partner, was said to have quickly dashed into the room and saw that the woman was unconscious.

It was gathered that the worker raised the alarm, and the suspect was chased, apprehended and handed over to policemen from the Idimu division.

Josephine’s corpse was subsequently deposited in a morgue.

The owner of the guesthouse had made statement at the police station.

When our correspondent visited the guesthouse on Jemi Alade Street, he was received by an elderly man and a young lady, who confirmed the incident.

The man, who appeared to own the guesthouse and asked not to be identified, said the suspect had attempted abandoning the corpse in the room.

He said, “This is a public place and people come in and go out. We are not responsible for what happened.

“They came in and had drinks. There were several others here that day. After they finished drinking, they went into a room.

“I don’t know what happened between them; but some minutes later, he stepped out of the room and left the guesthouse. The receptionist observed that he didn’t leave with his woman friend and when she went inside to check, she discovered that the lady was unconscious and quickly raised the alarm.

“People ran after him and saw that he had already boarded a vehicle. We had to drag him down from the bus.

“The incident really caused commotion in the guesthouse as some of our customers fled. We alerted policemen, who arrested him and removed the corpse.”

A source in the area said Josephine was the wife of a socialite, whom he refused to name.

He said, “They both had drinks in the guesthouse before going into the room where they had sex. It is possible that the man used drug or the woman was not strong enough to withstand the sex. She passed on during the romp.”

The source said the police from the Idimu division took the corpse to a mortuary.

It was gathered that the matter had been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, Yaba.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dolapo Badmos, said investigations were ongoing into the incident.

She said, “We were told that on January 24, 2017, the suspect and the deceased lodged in a guesthouse.

“The suspect later attempted to check out without his guest, prompting the receptionist to run after him.

“He was taken back to his room where the lifeless body of his girlfriend was discovered without any sign of violence.

“The corpse was removed and deposited in the Mainland General Hospital Mortuary, Yaba. Investigations are ongoing.”

UPDATE: Bobrisky To Sue VeryDarkMan For N1bn, Claims Voice Recording Was AI-Generated [PHOTOS]

Published

on

Bobrisky, the social media celebrity, has threatened to file a N1 billion lawsuit against activist VeryDarkMan for alleged defamation.

In a document dated September 27, Bobrisky claimed that VeryDarkMan shared a recording, allegedly created using Artificial Intelligence (AI), to tarnish her reputation.

Bobrisky’s legal counsel gave the activist a 24-hour ultimatum to retract the statements and apologize or face legal action.

The situation began after VeryDarkMan, whose real name is Martins Otse, posted an audio recording online in which Bobrisky allegedly claimed to have bribed Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) officials with N15 million to drop charges against her.

Bobrisky, whose birth name is Idris Okuneye, had been released from prison on August 5 after serving a six-month sentence for abusing the naira.

In the audio, Bobrisky supposedly said her “godfather” and Haliru Nababa, the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) controller general, ensured she served her sentence in a private apartment instead of a prison.

Bobrisky denied the claims, calling the recording “fake” and asserting that she did not bribe the EFCC.

Both Bobrisky and VeryDarkMan were invited by the EFCC over the bribery allegations, and the agency’s chairman, Ola Olukoyede, ordered an immediate investigation.

The federal government also suspended two NCoS officials over the bribery claims involving Bobrisky.

Lagos, Ogun Warn Residents As Oyam Dam Plans Water Release

Published

on

The Lagos and Ogun state governments have warned residents living in flood-prone areas, especially those near riverbanks, to temporarily relocate or prepare for possible flooding due to the planned release of water from the Oyan dam.

The release, managed by the Ogun-Oshun River Basin Development Authority (OORBDA), is an annual process to regulate dam levels during the rainy season.

Last year, flooding caused by water release from the dam affected residents of Isheri Riverview Estate and surrounding areas.

To prevent a similar situation, both state governments have advised communities in low-lying areas to take precautions, including moving to safer locations, as the release could cause rivers to overflow and result in severe flooding.

The Lagos State Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, confirmed that advocacy efforts were underway, urging people in vulnerable areas like Ajilete and Owode-Onirin to relocate.

The Ogun State Commissioner for Environment, Ola Oresanya, noted that the dam’s water release volume would be increased to create more reservoir space.

However, OORBDA assured the public that the release would not cause flooding, and the dam has undergone regular maintenance to prevent any failures.
