A man has been arrested in Nigeria over claims he took a herbal potion to boost the size of his manhood before having sex with his partner - who then bled to death.

Street cleaner Fatai Busari has been accused of causing the death of his lover Sadiat Adejuwon in the south western city of Ibadan.

Prosecutors say the 50-year-old took a herbal aphrodisiac to boost the size of his manhood before having vigorous sex with fellow street cleaner Sadia Adejuwon, 48. But his partner then started bleeding and died 'on the spot', a court was told. He could face the death penalty if found guilty, according to the Nigerian website Punch.It quotes Prosecutor, Cpl. Salewa Hammed as telling the court that Busari 'unlawfully caused the death' of Adejumon at his home on October 10, at about 3pm.

He said: 'Busari and the deceased woman worked as casual workers cleaning the street and they were dating.'On the fateful day, Busari drank herbal concoction to boost his manhood before sleeping with her.

'It was afterwards that he realised that something was amiss when he noticed blood flowing out of her private part. She later died at the spot and he raised alarm.'

Busari is being held at Agodi prison ahead of another court appearance on November 30.
