A man has been arrested over the death of his lover who allegedly bled to death following a vigorous sex session.

Fatai Busari, 50, is accused of causing the death of partner Sadiat Adejuwon, 48.

Reports in Nigeria claims the suspect drank a herbal aphrodisiac to increase the size of his manhood before having sex.

Local reports said chief magistrate Mrs Abiona Richard, sitting at the Iyaganku Chief Magistrates’ Court in Ibadan on Tuesday remanded Busari in custody.

He is currently being held in Agodi prison on one count of causing death and could face execution if found guilty.

Prosecutor, Cpl. Salewa Hammed told the court Adejuwon died while having intercourse with Busari at his home.

He said: “Busari and the deceased woman worked as casual workers cleaning the street and they were dating.

“On the fateful day, Busari drank herbal concoction to boost his manhood before sleeping with her.

“It was afterwards that he realised that something was amiss when he noticed blood flowing out of her private part.

“She later died at the spot and he raised alarm.”
