A security guard, simply identified as Baba Toyin, passed on last Thursday, while having sexual intercourse with a married woman, also identified as Nike, in a hotel room in the Ikeja area of Lagos.

The Lagos State Police image maker, Deputy Superintendent Joe Offor, confirmed the story to The Point, on enquiry. Offor said the police was still awaiting the autopsy report on the matter. When the hotel was contacted, the management simply said, “the matter is with the police
