Residents of an unnumbered building on Adekoya Street in the Ilepa Area of Ikare Akoko, headquarters of Akoko North-East Local Government Area of Ondo State, have fled the house following a tragic incident that occurred at the place on Saturday, February 12, 2017 during the birthday party of a young man identified only as Azeez.
The celebrant, according to findings by Saturday
PUNCH, had invited several of his friends over to the house on that fateful day for his party when the unexpected happened.
Azeez, as part of efforts to make the occasion interesting for guests, mixed a certain plant called ‘gegemu’ along with other substances to boost the alcoholic content of the local wine.
Crisis was however said to have begun by midnight, several hours into the ceremony, when those, who drank the concussion started reacting negatively.
