The Osun State Police Command has reportedly arrested a woman following the sudden death of a member of a local vigilante group during a sexual encounter in Ile-Ife, Osun State.
The deceased, identified as Sunday, popularly known as Apetu, reportedly developed severe distress after the encounter at Ooni Ilare Street in the ancient town.
He was said to have pleaded with the woman for help while gasping and screaming before his condition deteriorated. A video from the scene reportedly showed the deceased pleading with the woman to give him urine.
The woman was subsequently taken into custody at the Moore Police Division as authorities commenced investigations into the circumstances surrounding the death.
The deceased’s body was deposited at the morgue of the Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospitals Complex, Ile-Ife. Police and other authorities have yet to establish the exact medical cause of death, despite widespread claims linking the incident to traditional beliefs about “thunderbolt.”
