Man dies after alleged marathon sex in Niger

The police in Niger State have confirmed the death of a yet-to-be-identified man after an alleged marathon sex with a lady at the Paiko Local Government Area lodge in the state.

The spokesman of the police, SP Wasiโ€™u Abiodun, confirmed the incident in a statement on Thursday.

Abiodun said the incident is being investigated pending the completion of a medical autopsy.

He added that there are ongoing efforts to locate his relatives for necessary arrangements, as no family member has been reached because he had no phone on him or any other means of identification.

According to the statement, โ€œAn incident of a suspected sudden death was reported at Paiko Division, that on October 15 at about 8: 50 pm, a yet-to-be identified male adult visited the LGA lodge with a lady, and thereafter, slumped and was rushed to a nearby medical facility in Paiko, where he was confirmed dead.

โ€œThe man reportedly slumped while putting on his trousers and died at a guest house in Paiko, the headquarters of Paikoro LGA of Niger State, where he had allegedly gone to see a commercial sex worker.โ€

โ€œThe guest house is located within the Paiko popular market, where traders, who usually come from far places, also lodge.โ€
