A tragic incident unfolded in the Ilare area of Ile-Ife as a man reportedly lost his life after engaging in a sexual encounter with a married woman, allegedly falling victim to the dreaded traditional lethal spell known as Magun (Thunderbolt).

The community was thrown into confusion when the victim collapsed during the act. Local sources report that members of a nearby Celestial Church of Christ (Cele) were called to the scene in a desperate bid to perform spiritual intervention, but their efforts failed to revive him.

According to local traditional lore, a victim of the "Magun" spell can sometimes be saved if the woman immediately urinates into the victim`s mouth. However, this remedy was not successfully executed in this instance. Furthermore, while community members noted that the Ooni of Ife possesses the spiritual authority to counteract such traditional spells, customs strictly forbid the Ooni from seeing a dead body, ruling out any royal intervention once the victim passed.

Following the incident, the woman`s husband reportedly fled the area upon hearing the news. The Nigeria Police Force has since arrived at the scene, evacuated the deceased man`s body, and arrested the woman for further interrogation. Investigation into the exact circumstances surrounding the death remains ongoing.
