In
mysterious circumstance, two teenagers have been reported dead in Kabba,
Kogi State in connection with a cult initiation by a confraternity in
the town.
Close sources has revealed exclusively to Vanguard that two
teenagers who just finished their secondary education this year, have
been reported dead in Kabba, Kogi State, in mysterious circumstance.
It was learnt that their deaths were in connection with cult initiation by a confraternity in the town.
The parents of the teenagers when contacted by correspondents, said
they were too devastated to speak to the press. They said that they did
not want the incident reported for fear of police harassment.
A source who craved anonymity, said the boys died of complications
which resulted from drinking a 'hard substance,' which was part of the
initiation, adding that the boys voluntarily sought to join the
confraternity.
"From what I gathered, one of the boys was given a very hard
concoction to drink during his initiation into Eiye confraternity by the
leaders of the cult group. The substance, which was laden with very
hard drugs, led to the death of the poor boy," the source said.
A new twist has emerged in the controversy surrounding the
teenagers’ deaths. Another account has it that the boy took performance
enhancing drugs which overstretched his system and led to his demise.
According to this account, four teenagers were involved in taking
the concoction known in local parlance as Sukudie and were rushed to the
Specialist Hospital, Kabba, before two of them died. The two survivors,
according to the source, are Ebira boys from Okene.
