According to reports, the chairman of Igbudu Market Mile ‘2’ in Warri South council area of Nigeria’s Delta state was having sexual intercourse with his wife’s employee when he died.

The Nation reports that the man simply identified as Okpako died at a hotel (name withheld) located at Odibo Extension in the Igbudu area of Warri on Sunday, July 4.

While a source within the Delta State police command claimed that the man died before the planned sexual escapade with the young lady, a member of the community disagreed.

“It’s like he took some drugs as well as Indian hemp. I learnt he ran out of the hotel room like someone who wanted to die.

‘’They rushed him before they knew it, he went unconscious. He was confirmed dead in the hospital,” the police source is quoted as having said.
