2 Die After Taking Tea At Wedding Ceremony In Kano, 8 Hospitalized

Two people have died while eight others have been hospitalized after attending a wedding ceremony in Kano.

Team@orientactualmags.com learned the wedding ceremony was held in Sheka, Kumbotso Local Government, Kano state.

They had reportedly taken a tea prepared with local leaf popularly called Zakami .

Ward Head of the area, Malam Usman Musa Zakari confirmed this development to journalists on Wednesday.

Malam Zakari  said the deceased victims are  Mubarak Bala, also known as Diga, and Ibrahim Khalil.

‘It is true that the incident happened , they drank from the tea prepared with a local leaf called Zakami and a combination of other drugs.

Two persons died and eight others were hospitalized, there are different versions of the stories being peddled.

But I delegated persons to go on a fact-finding mission. And what we gathered was that only two persons lost their lives.

 Someone told me four persons lost their lives and I asked him to take me to the houses but he later told me that the figure was hearsay. So it is not true.

Some also said seven died and that others were missing. All these are not true. Nobody is missing. They are not even strangers, as they are from across the streets nearby.

Eight people were hospitalized after drinking from the tea, but they have all been discharged and they have carried on with their lives’ Zakari stated- Team@orientactualmags.com
