Utebor was just a average earning driver who as doing what every normal human being does. So what made his different enough to involve a corpse after? Was it that great?

It all started when he picked the lady lover at Ipaja area of Lagos state on Friday and all they did was head home and get frisky before the lady lover died, according to reports by Punch.

That was the tragedy that befell Utebor as he was simply enjoying himself. A neighbour was said to have alerted policemen from the Ipaja division, who arrested the [now] suspect and deposited the [now] victim’s corpse in a mortuary.

The lady lover was known by no one and no member of her family had shown up either.

The source said, “The man was driving his cab that fateful day when the lady flagged him down.

“She asked him for money, but he told her he didn’t have any money on him. He then asked her to enter the car and follow him home.

“He took her to his apartment in Baruwa Estate and it was that night that the girl died. Investigation showed that it was while he was making love to her that she died. It was the following morning that somebody alerted the police.”

However, Utebor, in his confession claimed had no form of intercourse with lady lover. He said he had picked the victim from the bus stop and taken her home when she suddenly died.

He continued to plead his innocence, saying he only helped the deceased and did not have sex with her, a source revealed.

He said, “The man did not deny taking the girl home. But he explained that while she was in his room, she started shouting that she had a headache, and before he knew what was going on, she fell down and died.

“He said he was confused and didn’t know what to do. But obviously, that may not be all the truth.”
