The Kwara State Command of the Nigeria Police, on Wednesday in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, says it has uncovered a new strategy used by cultists and other hoodlums to poison their victims and dispossess them of their valuables.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Ajayi Okesanmi, said the cultists and other evil minded people put tramadol inside a Lacasera drink or other soft drinks and make their victims to drink it thinking they were drinking safe soft drink.

Okesanmi explained that the victims, after drinking the poisoned drink, would fall asleep while the bandits would dispossess the victims of his or her valuables.

He warned the public to be cautious of such evil schemes and avoid taking gifts from unknown people, especially during traveling.

The PPRO spoke in Ilorin while parading three suspects for alleged involvement in the recent cult clashes in the state capital and for allegedly conspiring to poison a lady and dispose her of her money.

Okesanmi added that the police on Monday arrested two suspects, Adeniyi Sijibomi (18) and Tosin David for allegedly trying to poison a lady, Bidemi Adewole, of the Sapati Ile area of Ilorin.

He said the suspects were members of a cult group.

According to him, the suspects, who are also from the Sapati Ile area, had poisoned a bottle of Lacasera drink with tramadol and attempted to force the victim to drink it, explaining that Adewole miraculously escaped.

The PPRO said Adewole later complained to the police that the suspects had allegedly conspired to kill her using a poison-laden Lacasera drink.

The police spokesman alleged that Sijibomi and John Onucho (25) were involved in the cult clashes in Ilorin in which two people were confirmed dead by the police.

He stated that the suspects were all members of Eiye confraternity, adding that two locally manufactured pistols, two live cartridges and one expended cartridge were recovered from the suspects.

Okesanmi said, “On Tuesday, in a bid to arrest the perpetrators of the last cult clashes in Ilorin, which led to the killing of two young men, the command, in addition to suspects earlier arrested and charged, had also picked up the two suspects, who confessed to being part of the latest cult activities recorded last week with the arms used in the dastardly act.”

But the suspects denied the police allegations against them.

Meanwhile, the All Progressives Congress, Kwara State chapter, has condemned the cult clashes in the state capital.

The party, in‎ a statement by its state’s Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Sulyman Buhari, described the cult clashes as unfortunate, condemnable and unacceptable to the peace-loving people of Kwara State.

Hmmmmm...
Thank God for the lady who miraculously escaped their wickedness.


SAY NO TO CULTISM.

My problem with Nigeria's security services is that they lack decorum. Imagine the PPRO giving details of what and how the drug is used by the cultists. I believe that aspect is inconsequential. For those looking for date rape drugs, the PRO has announced one on a platter, just like Rohypnol was publicised during Cynthia's death.

I wouldn't be surprised if the NA soon comes out to explain what the Boko Haram use making their bombs. Not every crime details should be divulged to the public.

I see nothing wrong alerting the public about this. Trust me, the internet is very vast and anyone who needs any drug to wreck havoc can do a quick search online. People learn how to make bombs online, so I don't see why the Police should not alert the public. My opinion!

The internet is vast, true, but you would not see it anywhere on the internet asking you to use Tramadol and Lacasera to get the perfect date rape tool. And true, people make bombs online and even post them on Youtube. Understand that those who post these videos make do with tools and substances around them, which may be hard to come by in Nigeria.

And of what essence is alerting the public Teach people how to spot Tramadol or other substances in Lacasera and other drinks You know the answer to this is an obvious "NO!"

Not every part of an information is worth dishing out to the public. I get very uncomfortable with these aspect. Just recently, a Nairalander was asking for people's opinion on what to drop in the drink of a girl who had planned on visiting him. The police in particular don't know that some of whatever they tell the society, particularly about substances and criminals end up being recycled by desperate teens and youths.

So many bad news

The message being passed is not necessarily about tramadol and lacasera combo. It could be Smirnoff or Pepsi or whatever. Message is that people should be careful and vigilant in cases as such. That nairalander asking for a spike could have easily visited google to obtain answers. When you watch even the likes of CI or Discovery ID and the likes, they will even detail out how criminals have subdued their victims and their tactics/methodologies. To me, I still feel it is a way of raising people's awareness and consciousness.
