A 40-year-old man simply identified as Felix has been confirmed dead after an alleged sex romp with a yet-to-be identified lady in Bayelsa State.
The incident happened at a guest house along Azikoro Road in the Ekeki area of Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, reports Daily Trust.
Residents of the area told our correspondent that the deceased was found naked and lifeless in one of the guest house rooms after allegedly spending the night with the woman.
Felix was said to be a mobile phone repairer at the shopping complex in Ekeki before the incident.
Shop owners at the shopping complex near the guest house were seen gathering to mourn their deceased colleague.
One of the shop owners told journalists that Felix’s body was discovered by a cleaner yesterday morning while cleaning the room.
The cleaner reportedly raised the alarm after finding the body.
Residents who saw the deceased before the scene was cordoned off by the police said sachets of alcoholic drinks were found on the bedside table beside the body.
