Two Nigerians d!e of suspected poisoning in Libya

Two Nigerians identified simply as Collins and Osas have reportedly d!ed in Tripoli, the capital of Libya, under circumstances suspected to be linked to poisoning.  It was gathered that the victims, who were both residing in the Misrata part of the country, had travelled to Tripoli on July 20 with a friend whose identity is yet unknown. Sources privy to the incident told the Punch that after spending some days there, the friend advised the two to return with him to Misrata. They, however, allegedly refused, insisting they wanted to stay longer.  One of the sources who is also related to the late Collins, told the publication that the friend left them behind and returned alone to Misrata. According to him, he later received a call that his two companions had d!ed after allegedly being poisoned. We were told that the three of them lived in Misrata and that they all went to a place called Oshofana in Tripoli to have fun. This was July 20. Although Collins and Osas were not familiar with the place, it was their first time there. They said it is a place where they run different kinds of deals,” the source narrated.  So, after spending four days there, the friend whom they followed to the place said he was about to return to Misrata, but Collins and Osas said they were still going to stay behind. Then, he left them there and went back. It was about two days later that he claimed to have received a call that his two colleagues had d!ed of what was suspected to be food poisoning.  Another source based in the country told the publication that the incident had since generated controversy. The account of their friend who returned home was also said to have raised suspicion. Given the nature of what we all know Oshofana to be, the narration of the person they followed to the place raises suspicion. That was what he told us because no one went with them. But some of our colleagues here are not satisfied with his explanation, and they are following up with the ongoing investigation to determine the cause of their d3ath, the source disclosed. The source added that the deceased friends had since been buried in the country. Investigating further on Monday, LIB gathered that a Nigerian popularly known as Coded Parapara, believed to be one of the two victims, d!ed of suspected poisoning in Tripoli during the period in question.   The post Two Nigerians d!e of suspected poisoning in Libya appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
