A 40- year-old Fausat Idowu, a divorcee and mother of four, has died in the arms of her lover, a 36-year-old man, Owolabi Musiliu at a hotel in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, where they had gone for sexual pleasure.
Musiliu, a mechanic at the Mechanic Village in the Camp Area of Abeokut, who was arrested by the Ogun State Police Command, told news men that it was the first time he and the deceased attempted to have sexual intercourse since they started dating about six months ago.
The mechanic said that they “were just removing their clothes, when the woman suddenly started running temperature and later slumped,” adding that it was when he was taking her to the hospital in his vehicle that he discovered that she had died.
Musiliu, a father of three, was paraded before the news men by the Commissioner of Police, Ogun State Command, Ahmed Iliyasu , who said that the suspect failed to report the incident either to the police or the family of the deceased.
The Commissioner of Police said that instead, the suspect buried the remains in a shallow grave at Osara village, close to the house of the deceased, off Abeokuta- Ibadan Expressway.
Ahmed Iliyasu said that the suspect led the police to the shallow grave in an uncompleted building when he was arrested.
When asked why he did not inform the police or the family of the deceased, the suspect said he was afraid, so he decided to hide the corpse and he later buried her at midnight, adding that the deceased ’s younger brother, Hammed Idowu , had on February 1 , 2018 reported to the police that the deceased had gone to attend a christening at Bode Olude Area but did not return home.
“On interrogation, the suspect admitted taking the deceased to a hotel at Iyana- Apakila, Abeokuta, for pleasure, where he claimed she fell ill. He said he took her in his vehicle but she died in the car mysteriously.
“He further confessed that he took the corpse to a nearby bush, dug a shallow grave and buried it without disclosing same to anybody.
“This made the circumstances of her death mysterious as well as questionable, which is condemnable. The suspect will soon be arraigned before a court of competent jurisdiction.” [myad]
