Barber in Kwara arrested over girlfriend death during sexual encounter

The Kwara State Police Command has taken into custody a middle-aged man who operates a barbershop in Ilorin, the state capital, in connection with the demise of a young lady during a sexual encounter that occurred on Monday.

The police officially confirmed the incident on Tuesday and have initiated an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the tragic death of the young woman. She is reported to have passed away after an intimate encounter with her boyfriend at a guest house in Ilorin.

The incident unfolded on Monday at a guest house located in the Temidire community, within the Offa Garage area of the city.

While the details remain unverified, some community members have alleged that the man may have been under the influence of substances, perhaps in an attempt to impress his girlfriend, which ultimately led to this devastating outcome.

According to the reports, during their encounter, the young woman became fatigued, lost consciousness, and tragically passed away.

The man promptly raised the alarm when his girlfriend became unresponsive. This drew the attention of the guest house staff, who swiftly rushed the lady to a nearby hospital where, unfortunately, she was pronounced dead.

Following the incident, the owner of the guest house reported the matter to the Police ‘A’ Division in Ilorin, resulting in the subsequent arrest of the middle-aged man.

The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Okasanmi Ajayi, confirmed the incident and the arrest, assuring that a thorough investigation is currently underway.

“The incident is true. The state police command has arrested the man involved while full investigations have commenced to determine what exactly transpired between the man and the deceased,” Ajayi said.
