One Ms Ijimoh Ibrahim, 30 has been arrested after being accused of killing and dumping the body of her 78-year-old politician lover, Adedayo Deru by the road side in Oladipo Diya Road, Odogbolu , Ogun State.

The hairdresser and mother of 2 narrated her last sexual act which led to the death of the politician, to the Punch:

“He only came for sex in the mornings so that his wife would not suspect,” the fair complexioned woman said, as her face revealed that she would prefer not to relive the sordid details of the affair. There was a day I was with him. We had sex but the wife caught us. So, I had to leave the town shortly after. I went to Lagos to work as an apprentice hairdresser.

When we reconnected after I got back from Lagos, we continued our love affair secretly because he was always there when I needed help. He came as usual on September 30 around 9am. I was on my way out of the house; I was going to work already that day. But he met me as I got out of the door and said he was visiting me.

I told him I could spare some hours before I left for work, so I went back inside with him. As soon as we got in, he stripped and I did the same. It was just one round of sex that we had and I don’t know why that could have killed him. Our lovemaking was not even that long. He started complaining that he was not feeling fine. He said he was feeling tired and dizzy. Shortly after, he collapsed and stopped breathing.”

My brother (the relation) told me to calm down, promising to come to my aid later that afternoon so that we could decide on what to do. But when I did not see him by evening, I realised he had run away and switched off his mobile telephone in fear.

We thought if I reported to the police, I would be in serious trouble. I didn’t know”

A motorcyclist, Benjamin Friday, who helped in disposing the deceased body and one Funmilayo Moyegun, a photographer friend of Ibrahim were also arrested.

Confirming the incident, Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Mr. Muyiwa Adejobi, said

“We would determine how the man died and whether her version of the story correlates with the circumstances of the death”
