Father of four dies inside container during sex romp with married, pregnant concubine
Residents of Whitesand community, a suburb of Lagos, were shocked to the marrow as they woke up to discover a middle age man had died inside a container during a sex romp with his concubine.
The deceased, identified just as Akin, aka AK, a father of four, was found dead inside the container, while the lady was gasping for breath.
Sympathisers were said to have invited policemen from Orile Police Station to the scene before the lady was rushed to a private hospital, where she is recuperating.
The lady, whose identity was yet to the ascertained, was said to be pregnant for her husband, who is known to the deceased.
Our correspondent reliably learnt that the incident occurred at the early hours of Thursday.
Said to be a successful young man in his early 30s, the deceased, as gathered, was an agent with Betnaija Lotto, having two staking centres located at 24, Adunni Plaza, Plot 1, Badia Industrial Scheme, Ijora.
His wife, who did not know what had happened, was said to have rained curses on him when called that the man was sick.
The wife was quoted to have claimed that her late husband had abandoned her with the children for three weeks without sending them money to feed with.
AK, as he is fondly called, was said to own a three-bedroom flat in Sango area of Ogun State, where he resides with his family before his untimely death.
Said to be a merchant in orange business at Orile Iganmu fruit market, Akin was described as a jolly good fellow, a tomboy and lover of the green bottle.
After the necessary documents, it was learnt that his corpse was released to family members and buried in his Sango-Ota residence.
The Coordinator of Oodua People’s Congress in the area, who identified himself as Mr. Orebintin, said the incident was uncovered when the sales boy at the centre resumed for work and found that the container was locked from inside.
He said all efforts to force the door of the container open proved abortive, until a cardboard attached to the roof was dismantled.
The OPC coordinator also informed that the love birds had set on a generating set outside the container, suggesting that they were suffocated by the fume of the generator.
Orebintin said: “We are still in shock of how it happened because this is not the first time they have been sleeping inside the container.
“It was the sales boys who drew our attention to it when he wanted to open the container for the day’s sales that the door was locked inside.
“We assisted him by forcing the cardboard attached to the roof of the container because it was locked inside.
“On entering through the roof, we found the guy stone dead, while the lady was breathing profusely.
“We had to call the police from Orile Division before the lady was rushed to a private hospital for treatment.”

\Under the terms of the agreement, NGML will supply 100 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCF/D), 50MMSCF/D being firm supply and the rest 50MMSCF/D interruptible natural gas supply to the refinery for an initial period of 10 years, with options for renewal and growth.

US Election: Trump Returns To Washington, Meets President Biden At White House
After much anticipation, the United States, US, President-elect, Donald Trump has returned to the White House.
Trump met with President Joe Biden at the White House on Wednesday.
He walked into the White House triumphantly for the first time in four years to meet Biden.
Biden invited Trump for the traditional visit, a show of the coming Jan. 20 peaceful transfer of power in the American democracy between the current U.S. leader and the incoming chief executive.
But the Biden-Trump get-together is rife with political tension.
Biden, a Democrat who ran for reelection for some time, sought to defeat Trump, the Republican, before ending his campaign in July after faltering badly in a debate.
Biden quickly endorsed his vice president, Kamala Harris, to succeed him.
Kamala, however, failed to defeat Trump at the polls as the former president won by a wide margin.
When Biden defeated Trump in 2020, Trump offered no White House invitation to meet him ahead of the inauguration and then left Washington two hours before Biden’s swearing-in on the steps of the U.S. Capitol.

Gunmen Attack Military Checkpoint In Abia, Kill Two Soldiers
Gunmen attacked an army checkpoint early on Wednesday at Ekenobizi, a border community between Abia and Imo states in Umuopara, Umuahia South Local Government Area, killing two soldiers.
A military source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the attack occurred around 6:18 am. The gunmen arrived in a white Lexus (350/400) model, although the exact number of attackers could not be confirmed.
Confirming the incident in a press release on Wednesday, Lieutenant Colonel Jonah Unuakhalu of the Joint Task Force South East Operation UDO KA said: “In the early hours of today, 13 November 2024, troops of the Joint Task Force South East Operation UDO KA, deployed at a checkpoint along the Umuahia – Owerri Road in Umuahia South Local Government Area of Abia State, came under attack by the irredentist group Indigenous People of Biafra and its armed affiliate, the Eastern Security Network.
“During the attack, the gallant troops were able to repel the assault, forcing the attackers to retreat in disarray with gunshot wounds, abandoning one Sienna and one Lexus Jeep used in the attack. However, in the ensuing firefight, two soldiers paid the supreme price.”
The Joint Task Force appealed to residents of the South East, particularly those in Abia State, for credible information to help track down the fleeing attackers and combat criminal elements in the region.
The force reiterated its commitment to protecting lives and property in line with global best practices and the rules of engagement.
