Teenager Drinks Rat Poison in Benue...His Reason is Shocking

After being arrested by members of the vigilante of Effa quarters in Otukpo with a dagger and a locally constructed fake gun around 1:00am in the area on Friday, a teenager identified only as Ajonye drank rat poison.

 

According to a shocking report by DailyPost, the teenage victim who claimed he was not out to steal but to secure the area, was allowed to go home around 8:00am without his dagger and locally constructed fake gun, but was warned never to be seen moving about like that again.

 

The victim's elder brother identified as Adikwu, rushed back to the vigilante post hours later and informed him that he (Ajonye) had drank rat poison and currently in coma.

"I was in the neighborhood when I heard my name directly from my neighbors compound, on getting there, I discovered that my younger brother has drank rat poison, so we quickly got some red oil to give him before calling for assistance," he said.

 

Adikwu was accompanied by some vigilante members at Igbanonmaje who assisted in taking him to Ihotu clinic at Upu road a suburb of Otukpo local government area of Benue state.

 

A doctor at the hospital hinted to a reporter that his chances of survival are very slim.
