India — A 28-year-old Nigerian has died while undergoing
treatment at Inamdar Hospital, in India only a few minutes after a
group of seven persons dropped him off at the hospital, then fled
the scene.
According to PuneMirror, an Indian news portal, the man
identified as Mbamara Chideara Festus, normally stays in Nigeria,
but at the time of the incidence, he was in Mumbai.
A post-mortem conducted at Sassoon General Hospital, said
Festus died of alcohol overdose after a party at Hotel Shalimar,
Kondhwa.
After he fell unconscious, seven of his friends — five men and two
women — dropped him off at the hospital and left immediately.
He was declared dead minutes later.
A guard at the hospital noted down the registration number of
the car and the Wanowrie police managed to track it down in
Kondhwa.
A senior police inspector, B. D. Mohite, who is in charge of
Wanowrie police station said: “As per primary information, Festus
is from Mumbai, and originally from Nigeria. His friends are
students in Mumbai, mostly from Nigeria as well.
They had all come to Pune on Friday to attend a party at Hotel
Shalimar in Kondhwa. It looks like he may have drank beyond his
limits and then faced its ill-effects.
“We established contact with his friends in Mumbai. They came to
Pune in two separate cars at the invitation of one of their friends
here. While partying, Festus suddenly collapsed.
“One of his friends, identified as Chukwuma took him to the
hospital, along with six others. While treating him, doctors
declared him dead. On hearing this, his friends panicked, thinking
they might get into trouble with the police, especially since they
did not have their passports with them. They left the hospital at
once and got in touch with us only after they got back to
Mumbai.”
Mohite further said that, as per the post-mortem report, Festus
had no external or internal injuries. The report states that the
details of the cause of death have been kept confidential.
“However, it is part of the investigation as to whether any other
narcotic substances were used,” Mohite said.
Sunil Date, administrative officer, Inamdar Multispeciality Hospital
said: “Around 3:15 am, around seven to eight people came in two
cars. They took the patient to the casualties ward, then left in a
hurry. He was in a very bad state. When doctors took him and
checked his ECG, they found he was already dead.
“Our security guards chased the car and noted the registration
number, which we then handed over to the police. Since the
death occurred before we could treat him, we do not know the
exact cause. We have already given the police CDs of our CCV
footage to help them in their investigation.”

For a man To leave his country and go to India to become a drunk, isn't that pathetic? what will history parents be thinking right now?

I can just imagine the average Russian when he hears this he'd probably start singing
"Are you a learner" in Olamide's voice

Why did the friends dump him and leave?
Am I the only one thinking the friends forced the alcohol down his throat? Wasn't this a carefully arranged death?
How can someone leave his country and die in a foreign country far away from home, as a result of excessive alcohols per night?
Smh! RIP!

Once they are out there drinking, they don't care about how their loved ones would be feeling. To ferry his corpse back to nigeria would cost the family huge sums of money. Our men needs serious reorientation
