A 16-year-old boy identified only as Ngozi who lived with his
parents on Temidola Street, Oko Afo, Badagry area of Lagos state, has
reportedly died about an hour after drinking a suspected adulterated
liquor which was sold to him by a woman in the area, as the Police have
arrested the woman.
It was learnt that one Olufunke had sent her son, Olawumi and Ngozi
to buy the gin from the woman, and the seller gave Ngozi an extra gin
in a nylon, which he drank while returning from the errand.
According to Punch Metro, the victim was said to have become drunk
and was taken home by Olufunke. The teenager was said to have gone into
convulsion and was rushed to a hospital in the community, where he was
pronounced dead.
Speaking to a correspondent, a resident who gave his name as Dele
Kalejaiye, said the case was reported to the police at the Morogbo
Police Division.
“On Saturday, December 3, Mama Olawumi (Olufunke) called Ngozi
and sent him to buy ogogoro (liquor) from her customer at Oko Afo bus
stop. She asked Olawumi to accompany him.
“When they came back with the drink, Ngozi was already drunk.
When he could no longer control himself, she (Olufunke) led him to his
house. Her child did not take from the extra drink the seller gave them.
She (Olufunke) had also been arrested,” he said.
Also speaking, another resident, identified simply as Jimoh, said
the deceased’s father hardly stayed at home since the incident happened.
“As I speak, I have yet to see him around for almost a week
now. I learnt he stays with a relative somewhere in Badagry so he could
get over the shock of his son’s death. He was really devastated. He
loves him so much and he had warned him several times against taking
alcohol,” he added.
A police source at the station disclosed that the remains of the
deceased had been deposited in the Badagry General Hospital morgue for
autopsy.
“Immediately the father of the deceased reported the case,
Olawumi was arrested but the seller fled. She was eventually apprehended
a few days ago. Only the boy drank the drink the seller gave them.
Possibly he had never taken such before or the gin was adulterated,” the source added.
