Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Ipokia local government area of Ogun state, Saruku Suraju, but well known as Aro Meta, has been reported dead.
PM News reports that the PDP chieftain in Ogun State was found dead in a hotel in the community called De Lover Hotel, which is located at Aseko in Ibatefin.
There are speculations that the deceased had a fling with a woman at the hotel, and that he may have died after playing the adult game with her on Friday night, when he was said to have breathed his last.
It was reported that the 68-year old politician was supposed to be turbaned on Sunday, April 17, 2016, at Ibatefin Central Mosque as Giwa Adinni of the same mosque, but because of the unfortunate incident, the ceremony has now been postponed indefinitely.
The mistress he was accused to have been with has reportedly fled for fear of the unknown.
“The incident happened around 9pm on Friday and we have buried him yesterday according to Islamic rite,” a source was quoted to have said by PM News.
“Yes, he died at De Lover hotel. What I know was that, his party, PDP is to have the final meeting of those to be elected as officers of the party in their forthcoming Congress.
“He was on his way to the meeting when they said, a lady called him on his phone and asked him to join her at the hotel. It was his dead body that was later taken out from the hotel with series of information flying around.
“Some said he might have contracted thunderbolt, ‘Magun’, a charm laid for partners who are adulterous.
“Some people said he was strangled to death by unknown people while some said he was killed by a chemical substance sniffed into his nose with an handkerchief. What all these means is that, it has a political undertone.
“We were told that he had a misunderstanding with someone in the party over the chairmanship seat as he wanted to return to the office while other candidates are interested.
“I was not there, all these are what people are saying. I don’t want to speak ill about the dead, he was there all alone now. This is a big lesson for everybody, please, spare me to stop here, I don’t want to say more than this,” the source reportedly disclosed.
