Residents of Ekiti State are mourning a popular herbalist who died allegedly after having passionate sex with a pastor’s wife at a hotel in Ikere Ekiti, Ekiti State.
The late juju priest identified as Fadayomi Kehinde, aka Ejiogbe, reportedly lodged at a hotel with a woman said to be the wife of a shepherd of a white garment church in the same town on Monday, January 2, 2023.
Immediately after the two finished having sex, the herbalist was said to have slumped, prompting the lady to call for help from the hotel room.
The manager of the hotel and some residents rushed to the scene and immediately took the man to a nearby hospital, where he was confirmed dead.
Associates of the late native doctor were alleged to have attributed his death to “magun,” a local charm placed on married women by their husbands to harm lovers who sleep with them.
The aggrieved supporters of the late herbalist were said to have stormed the church where the husband of the lady is the pastor and then vandalized the church property in anger.
The married woman has reportedly been arrested and is being held in protective custody to facilitate the investigation and also to protect her from the angry youths.
The remains of the deceased have been deposited in the morgue of the Ekiti State Specialist Hospital in Ikere.
