Anambra: randy lovers nearly lynched for having sex at a funeral

A double homicide was averted in Umuduru village when two lovers were caught openly having sex during a funeral.

The village elders saved the duo from irate youths, who attempted to mob them.

According to a community source, it was an abomination in the neighbourhood. The source said the elders, after saving the two ‘lovers’, asked the man to bring six cartons of beer and some cash, which would be used to appease the gods of the land.

He stated, “This abominable act took place during a burial ceremony of a lady at Umuduru Village, Ihiala.

“It was gathered from an eyewitness that a woman believed to be a commercial sex worker living in one of the brothels in this community, apparently under an influence, said she wanted to perform `a show’.

“As part of the show, she stripped and dragged a young man simply known as `Chinwuba’ from Ogboro Umunwaji Village in Ihiala out of the crowd. Both engaged in a sex orgy right in front of onlookers with impunity.

“Some angry youths pounced on them and in the process, the lady escaped. But Chinwuba was not that lucky. It took the intervention of the elders who restrained the irate youths from sending the man to his early grave.

“The elders fined him six cartons of beer and an undisclosed amount of money. They (elders) said the fine was to appease the gods of the land for the abominable act.”
