Mother Of Two In Trouble After Lover Dies During Sex

30-year-old hairdresser,  Ijimo Ibrahim, has been accused of killing her 78-year-old lover, Adedayo Deru after he reportedly died during sex.

She is  being held at the Department of Criminal Investigation of the Ogun State Police Command.

According to Punch, the incident happened on September 30, 2014. The deceased, Deru’s body was said to have been dumped by the roadside about 100 metres away from his lover’s house on Oladipo Diya Road, Odogbolu.

The suspect, Ijimo Ibrahim, a single mother of two who said she met the late Deru about six years ago in Odogbolu narrated to  Punch how her married lover died.

She said: “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.”

“He only came for sex in the mornings so that his wife would not suspect”.

“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,” she said.

 “None of the fathers of my children were good. They never took care of me or the children. I turned to the only person who has been really helpful to me. My lover (Deru) was a good man. He helped me anytime I called on him.

“When we reconnected after I got back from Lagos, we continued our love affair secretly because he was always there when I needed help.”

The suspect said the late Deru was very supportive as he  sometimes gave her foodstuffs or money for food, which she said was up to N1,000 on each occasion.

Ijimo Ibrahim, however, said when the late Deru wasn’t responding , she became scared and confused on what to do decided to call her brother’s number to narrate what had happened but she said he did not show up in the evening as promised, as he switched off his phone out of fear.

She said she got another person, a commercial motorcyclist, Benjamin Friday who agreed to help her dispose the body saying: “We thought if I reported to the police, I would be in serious trouble. I didn’t know I was making a terrible decision.”

The motorcyclist, Benjamin Friday who was arrested alongside the suspect said he had no idea that Deru was already dead as he said he was told that he was only sick and they wanted to dump his body on a roadside so that he would not die in her house,” he said.

The police also arrested a friend of the suspect, Funmilayo Moyegun who is a photographer as she said she was only requested to be there “to take his (Deru’s) photograph.” “I only held the lamp when the body was being dumped,” she said.

The deceased body was found by residents who alerted the police.

Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Mr. Muyiwa Adejobi, who confirmed the inciddent said after a thorough police investigation, the body was eventually traced to Ibrahim as he stated investigations is still ongoing to determine the cause of his death and the level of the prime suspect’s involvement.
