A Lagos landlord’s son and his married lover were found dead in a Toyota Corolla on Abisogun Leigh Street, behind the headquarters of the Area G Police Command, Ogba, Lagos on Sunday.
Punch) - The man was found on the driver’s side, half-naked, with his p*nis slumped, while the woman, who wore a gown, reclined in the passenger seat next to him. A tricycle rider who noticed that the headlamps of the car were on around 8.30am drew the attention of an executive member of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) to the car.
It was gathered that the executive member and the rider went to the scene, peeped into the car and observed that the lovers were motionless. They were said to have immediately alerted the police at the command and the car was subsequently moved to the premises of the Area G Police Command while the corpses of the lovebirds were deposited in a morgue.
An NURTW member, Adewale Sofuyi, told PUNCH that he alerted policemen at the Area G Command to the incident.
“A tricycle rider approached me around 9 am. He said the headlamps of a Toyota Corolla by the roadside were on and that he had knocked at the car door without getting a response from the occupants,” he said.
“I followed him to the scene and confirmed what he said. The man wore a shirt only; he did not cover his private parts. The woman was in a gown. They were both in the front seats. The seat where the woman sat had been adjusted so that she reclined on it. From all indications, they had had sex with each other before their deaths.
“I went to report at the area command and some policemen followed me. When they opened the car, a bottle of an alcoholic brand - Best - was found there. Their phones were also recovered. They moved them to the back seats and drove to the station. The police contacted their families through their phones.”
