When a Facebook Lover Dies in a Married Man's Arms...

Christopher Ezekiel, who is currently being
investigated by the Lagos State Investigation
Department, SCID, Panti, Yaba over the death
of his Facebook lover, Adekemi Faboro, has
revealed how she died. He was arrested after
Adekemi died during his visit to her apartment
at 5, Folorunsho Street, off Ajayi Road, Ogba.
Recounting the incident that led to the victim’s
death, the father of two said this was actually
the second time he was visiting her house in
Lagos. He said:
“I met her online sometime between
September and October 2014 on
facebook and we began to chat. Early
this year she came to Sagamu to visit
me and she spent two days with me.
She actually came on Friday and went
back to Lagos on Saturday.
I have an apartment where I work in
Sagamu but my wife and children live in
another apartment in Ibadan. I came to
see her in Lagos around first week of
March where I spent the weekend with
her. This was the second time I visited
her.
“On that fateful evening, we went out,
spent quality time together and later
retired to her apartment and slept. At
about midnight, she began to complain
about headache and then she started
coughing. She coughed for a long while.
It was when the coughing persisted that
I had to go and knock on her next
neighbours’ door to help me locate a
nearby hospital, since I am not familiar
with Lagos terrain.
So with the help of her neighbours, we
went to a nearby private hospital
(names withheld). After examining her
condition, she was referred to the
general hospital. At this time, her
condition was getting worse, yet I did
all I could to get her to the hospital.
With the assistance of her neighbours,
we made it to Ifako General Hospital in
Ogba. By the time they began to attend
to her, she had passed on. I am not in
any way responsible for her death.”
It was learned that the suspect’s wife who
works with Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation, NNPC, in Ibadan, was at the State
Investigation Department, SCID, Panti, last
Wednesday to see her husband.
Confirming the incident, Lagos Police Public
Relations Officer, DSP Kenneth Nwosu, told
Vanguard autopsy would soon be conducted to
determine the actual cause of the victim’s
death as investigation continues.
