A man has died a painful death in the hands of some members of the Oodua Peoples Congress after he reportedly barged into a room where two lovers were engaging in a sex romp.
The tragic incident happened in FESTAC Town.
According to SaharaReporters, the man was killed on the suspicion that he was a ritualist after he broke into a room in Grass Copper Hotel.
A police report from the FESTAC Town division said that the suspect broke into a room where a lover and his girlfriend had lodged.
SaharaReporters gathered from an eyewitness that the lovers were reportedly having sex in the hotel room when the suspect broke in.
“He was caught and handed over to some hotel guards. The guards in turn handed him over to the OPC members in the area. The lodger and his girlfriend were having sex and it was what attracted the intruder to break in. He was suspected to be a ritualist,” the witness added.

He was thereafter rushed to Mainland General Hospital, Yaba, where he was confirmed dead.
