A popular herbalist in Ikere Ekiti, Ekiti state, Fadayomi Kehinde, has reportedly lost his life during a sex romp with the wife of a Prophet in the town on Monday.

The herbalist was said to have slumped and died, while the duo were having a nice time at an undisclosed hotel in Ikere.

The Nigerian Monitor gathered that the woman allegedly involved in the illicit act is an ordained Evangelist and wife of a white garment church Prophet in Ikere town.

It was revealed that the woman raised the alarm after realising that Kehinde had collapsed while they were having sex.

Her scream attracted the staff and people at the hotel, who rushed to the room and found the herbalist lying on the floor.

They immediately rushed him to a nearby hospital for medical attention, where he was confirmed dead on arrival.

Some associates of the late native doctor who spoke under the condition of anonymity said the man died of ‘Magun’ popularly known as thunderbolt.

Some residents of the community, however, disagreed with the conclusion on the cause of death by the deceased’s associates, saying it was God’s verdict to punish the duo for the illicit act. They insisted that it was the consequence of sleeping with the wife of a true man of God, which they believe would serve as a warning to other adulterous men and women in the town.

Meanwhile, what could have led to a breach of the peace was averted on Tuesday, when aggrieved supporters of the late herbalist stormed the woman’s husband’s church in anger to vandalize it on the allegation that the Prophet trapped his wife with “Magun” to expose her adulterous lifestyle, which eventually led to the death of the deceased.

The Ekiti State PPRO, DSP Sunday Abutu, confirmed the incident on Tuesday.

He said police have commenced investigations into the incident, adding that the woman has been arrested for interrogation.

The remains of the deceased have been deposited in the morgue of the State Specialists’ Hospital in Ikere Ekiti.
