A married man has died during sex romp with a married woman in Cross River State.
The man, who was simply identified as Eyom allegedly died in Ekori, Yakkur Local Government Area of the state during a sex romp with the married woman, Grace Odi.
It was learnt Grace and her husband Mr Odi left their community, Assiga to the neighboring Ekori for a wedding, but midway into the wedding, Grace gave her husband a flimsy excuse and went straight to meet her lover in a prearranged guest house, the venue for their illicit sex activity.
It was gathered that halfway into the sex romp, Eyom allegedly started shaking and foaming in the mouth and eventually died.
A source in the area said, Eyom told his friends that he was going to give his girlfriend, married woman, a good time and so needed to increase his performance by taking some sex enhancing drugs.
The woman on noticing that the man had died quickly dressed up and secretly left the place but the lifeless body of the man was later seen by the staff of the guest house, who in turn alerted the owner of the guest house and the man’s identity revealed by community members who came to witness the scene.
“It was when his identity was revealed that some of his friends remembered what he told them and a search for his married girlfriend began and was eventually located at the wedding ceremony by a staff of the guest house who booked them into the room,” the source stated.
The police have since arrested the woman for further investigation while the body of the man has been deposited at the Ugep General Hospital mortuary.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Cross River State Command, Ms Irene Ugbo, said she had yet to be briefed on the matter.
