A young man identified as John Lekan and his girlfriend, one Darasimi, were found dead in mysterious circumstances in a hotel in the Fagaba area of Lagos State.

According to reports, the lovers were found dead on Monday morning in their hotel room, and they were suspected to have been poisoned.

A source was quoted as saying that Darasimi’s sister, who came to claim her corpse, hinted that she was supposed to be in school instead of lodging in a hotel with John.
