A shocking incident unfolded on March 24, 2023, at the Iwo Road junction in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria, where a mob nearly lynched a man accused of homosexuality. Adeola Fayemi, the alleged bisexual man, was attacked by a group of people who allegedly discovered his relationship with the driver of a Mercedes Benz car.
Eyewitnesses claimed Fayemi was dragged along the road and severely beaten after being accused of having a homosexual relationship with the driver, who sped away in the car.
Despite initial denials, Fayemi later admitted to being with the driver at a hotel but maintained their interaction was non-sexual.
The mob’s anger did not subside, and they decided to take the law into their own hands.
In a horrific turn of events, the mob attempted to burn Fayemi alive on their way to the police station.
Fortunately, the men of the Oyo State Park Management System stationed at Iwo Road intervened and rescued him from the enraged crowd and he was able to escape eventually.
Further investigation confirmed Fayemi’s bisexual orientation after tracing him to his residence in Ologuneru community, Ibadan, Oyo State.
