A 78-year-old politician, Adedayo Deru has died in Ogun
State during sex with his 30 year old lover,
Hairdresser Ijimoh Ibrahim .
Adedayo Deru, despite the huge age difference was in a secret
love affair with Ijimoh. Unfortunately, September 30, 2014, he collapsed on her
chest and died on the spot. She dumped his corpse on a roadside and
according to Punch, Ijimoh is now finding it hard to explain her
situation to police investigators at the Department of Criminal Investigation
of the Ogun State Police Command, Eleweran, Abeokuta.
Ibrahim, who was never married, has two children with two other men. Sitting on
the floor with agony etched on her face, Ibrahim narrated how her lover, who
was married to another woman, died.
“He only came for sex in the mornings so that his wife would
not suspect,” the fair
complexioned woman said, as her face revealed that she would
prefer not to relive the sordid details of the affair.
The late Deru and Ibrahim met six years ago in Odogbolu.
“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 -diAccording to Ibrahim, after her apprenticeship
and a love affair in Lagos that resulted in a child, she was back in Odogbolu,
where another love affair resulted in another child.
“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.”
Asked what sort of help Deru rendered, Ibrahim said he
sometimes gave her foodstuffs or money for food, which she said was up to
N1,000 on each occasion. So, she and Deru enjoyed a sexual experience that
endured until their final encounter, which has put her in police net as a
murder suspect.
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.”
When Deru became unresponsive, Ibrahim said she became
frightened. Confused about what to do next, she dialled the telephone number of
a male relation, explaining what had happened.
“My brother (the relation) told me to calm down, promising
to come to my aid later that afternoon so that we could decide on what to do.
But when I did not see him by evening, I realised he had run away and switched
off his mobile telephone in fear,” she said.
Ibrahim had to turn to another acquaintance who eventually
agreed to help her dispose of the body.
“We thought if I reported to the police, I would be in
serious trouble. I didn’t know I was making a terrible decision.”
It was around 3am the following day when Ibrahim disposed of
Deru’s body with the help of a commercial motorcycle rider living in her house.
The motorcyclist, Benjamin Friday, who tried his best to present his version of
the events that led to his involvement in disposing of the body, said he had no
idea that Deru was already dead.
“When they woke me up to help them carry a body, I was told
it was her (Ibrahim’s) elderly relation. I was really sleepy, they only told me
he was ill and they wanted to dump his body on a roadside so that he would not
die in her house,” he said.
Asked how he could possibly help carry a body and would not
know whether it was that of a dead man, Friday said he was sleepy at the time.
“I told them I would not touch the man’s body. Someone sat
behind me supporting the man’s body. I only drove them to the roadside. They
put the body down and I left.”
Also in police custody was a photographer friend of Ibrahim,
Funmilayo Moyegun, who 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.
Deru’s body was said to have been dumped about 100 metres
away from his lover’s house on Oladipo Diya Road, Odogbolu. The police were
called to the scene when the body was found by residents of the area.
Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Mr. Muyiwa Adejobi, said after a
thorough police investigation, the body was eventually traced to Ibrahim.
According to him, investigation would continue into the matter.
“We would determine how the man died and whether her version
of the story correlates with the circumstances of the death,” Adejobi said.
He revealed that an autopsy would help the police determine
the level of culpability of the prime suspect.
