Close sources has revealed exclusively 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.
