May Day tragedy: Two lovers found dead naked in SUV in Lagos
It was a bizarre experience on Workers’ Day when two lovers were found dead and naked in a Toyota Highlander SUV parked along Oja Road, off Isheri Bus Stop, Jakande Estate, Ejigbo, Lagos State.
They were believe to have died while making love in the Toyota Highlander SUV with registration number: EPE 666 GE.
The man was fully naked while the female had her trousers stripped down to the knee level.
A resident, who was also a witness, Maduka Augustine, said the residents didn’t know the time the vehicle was parked, but that they became suspicious the way it was not properly parked and decided to check inside the vehicle.
Augustine said: “What we saw baffled us and too bizarre.
“The vehicles windows were all wind up, but we saw two people inside it and we raised the alarm, which attracted people.
“We started knocking on the SUV, but the two occupants were motionless.
“We wanted to force the doors open, but people warned against it, so we decided to report to the police.
“The police came and forced the door open.

“Well, some people believed that the lovers might have died of a Yoruba traditional charm (Magun), prepared by husbands against their cheating wives.
“What else would have killed them if not magun, because there was no mark of violence on their bodies and they were naked, meaning that they were making love.
“The woman was wearing her wedding ring.”
However, Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, said there was a report about two dead bodies found in an SUV parked along Oja Road, off Isheri Bus Stop, Jakande Estate, Ejigbo.

“Family of the deceased have been contacted.
“The male has been identified as Kayode Oyediran, while the female (names withheld) has also been identified.
