SHE WAS an undergraduate studying law in the United Kingdom. Her name was DAMILOLA OLAKANMI, a Nigerian Naturalised British citizen. In spite of repeated warnings from her mother with whom she was resident to lead a godly Christian lifestyle, she had abandoned such warnings to follow a careless lifestyle. She enjoys party time every weekend and loves to be \u2018high\u2019 on alcohol. In a bid to notch-up her addiction, she ordered for cannabis sweets online. The 23-year-old consumed the cannabis in company of her friends and collapsed. She fell ill immediately and was rushed to the hospital where she died.<\/b><\/p>\n
