House Of Reps Member Died After Sleeping With
Female Banker, Woman Arrested
A member of the House of Representatives from
Ondo State died in the early hours of yesterday
after what security sources said was a s*xual
affair with a female banker in his private
residence located at Gwarinpa Estate in Abuja.
Rep. Raphael Oloye Nomiye, who was 50 years old,
was until his death representing Ondo, Ilaje, Ese
Odo in Ondo State under the platform of the
Labour Party.
The lawmaker was said to have died shortly after
an affair with the banker (names withheld). The
spokesperson of the Federal Capital Territory
(FCT) police command, Hyelhira Altine Daniel,
confirmed the incident, saying the command was
still investigating the cause of the legislator’s
death.
When Sunday Trust visited the deceased’s
residence at Second Avenue in Gwarinpa Estate,
neighbours and witnesses said the banker, who
managed his accounts, was said to have rushed
down for the one-storey building to inform the
policemen on guard at the house that “oga just fell
down and is vomiting blood.”
They said when the policemen entered into his
room upstairs, they found him laying on the floor
with a towel tied round his waist, while he bled
from the mouth. He was then quickly taken to a
private clinic on 3rd Avenue within the estate in
his official Toyota Camry 2012 car with
Registration Number 148B Rep.
It was further learnt that doctors at clinic declined
to attend to him, saying it was a “serious” matter,
following which he was then rushed to the National
Hospital, Abuja, where he was later pronounced
dead.
Police sources disclosed that the banker, who is
now in police custody at the Gwarinpa Police
Division, had earlier denied having s*xual affair
with the lawmaker before his death.
But she was said to have changed her statement
after doctors at the National Hospital conducted an
examination on corpse, which confirmed that the
deceased had slept with a woman shortly before
his demise.
The sources said after the test, the banker
admitted to interrogators that she had actually
slept with the deceased and had helped him to
clean up, following which he went into the
bathroom, where he suddenly fell and began to
vomit blood.
Police investigators who inspected the lawmaker’s
house had succeeded in recovering some items,
including a bottle of water, which the deceased
lawmaker had drank from some tissue papers and
the clothes the deceased had worn earlier in the
day, Sunday Trust gathered.
When our reporters visited the banker’s private
residence located at Kado Estate in Abuja, two of
her professional friends, who spoke on the
condition of anonymity, said the banker and
Raphael had been friends. They, however, denied
knowledge of the lawmaker’s death.
An investigation by Sunday Trust also revealed
that although the late lawmaker was married, his
wife and children were not living with him in Abuja.
As at press time, there was no official statement
from his family or the House, but a lawmaker in
the Lower Chamber confirmed the lawmaker’s
demise. He added, however, that the House would
make an official statement until it received formal
notification from Nomiye’s family.
“I heard of his death, but we’re yet to get any
official statement from his family or any doctor.
The House will make an official statement when it
eventually receives confirmation from his family,”
said the source.
When contacted, the Deputy Chairman of the
House of Representatives Committee on Media
and Publicity, Victor Ogene, said he was yet to get
an official confirmation of the death and, as such,
wouldn’t comment on it.
