28-year-old man sleeps with fowl

A 28-year-old man identified as Ogunole Jelili has been caught in Akure, the Ondo State capital sleeping with a fowl. Jelili was earlier driven out of Afo in Ose Local Government Area of the state for allegedly sleeping with a goat.
The man confessed that he slept with his neighbor's fowl but said that he was acting under a spell. According to him, it was about 11.20pm on that fateful day when a spirit just came upon him and he did not know what he was doing again until when he discovered that he had slept with the fowl.
A family source said the man had been once accused of sleeping with a lactating goat in his home town, Afo, and that was why he was asked to come and be staying with his elder brother at Continental area of Akure.
As at the time of the incident, Jelili was learning welding. Speaking with journalists about the incident, the owner of the fowl, Mrs Stella Akintola, said the incident happened a few minutes past 11pm on that fateful day. She said she had already slept when she heard noise coming from where she kept her fowl.
Akintola added that she came outside to see what was happening, then noticed that their exit door was not shut and that was the reason she shouted to know who was still outside. According to her, it was then she saw Jelili outside, who said he had a ‘runny’ stomach.
