A yet-to-be-identified lady has reportedly died in Anambra State after allegedly smoking Colorado, a psychotropic drug, popularly known as “Colos” — the eponym for the popular slang “On Colos”.

The incident reportedly happened over the weekend in Awka, the State capital, where the lady was said to have repeatedly smoked the psychotropic and acted in strange ways before finally giving up the ghost.

This was corroborated by a video and voice note currently trending on the social media about the incident.

While the video shows the lifeless body of the victim lying close to the Y-Junction Axis of the UNIZIK Junction-Okpuno road, the masculine voice note of an eyewitness that accompanies it explained that the she became unconscious and started misbehaving after smoking the dangerous drug, even to the point of perambulating the street stack naked.

This, the eyewitness said, made some sympathizers to hold and assist her with a cloth to cover up her unclothedness. The sympathizers were also said to have fed her with enough soaked garri to douse the effect of the substance on her.

It was however, reported that shortly after she began to regain her consciousness, she went and smoked the Colorado again, which eventually led to her collapse, downfall and consequent death along the ever-busy road.

Her corpse was also said to have been taken away by her people after some ersby recognized her and invited her family , who came and evacuated her corpse.

When recently ed by this reporter, Izunna Okafor, the State Commandant of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) in Anambra, Mr. Daniel Onyishi described such incident as one of the numerous inherent dangers and consequences of drug abuse and how it destroys the youths.

According to him, Colorado is a psychotropic and one of the dangerous drugs that have rendered and still render many people useless in the society, adding that ‘colos’ is also addictive, while its effect is instantaneous, as it flows straight to the bloodstream, affecting one's mental wellness.

The NDLEA Boss said that such things are what the Agency has been preaching against through its various sensitization programs in secondary schools and other public places in the State, including through the radio program “NDLEA and You” which holds from 11.am to 12.pm every Tuesday on ABS 88.5FM.

“That is why everybody should stay off drugs and us to fight drug abuse. If you know anyone who uses or deals on drugs, make NDLEA know. People should not be harbouring such persons or take drug as a business,” Onyishi emphatically stated in a telephone interview with this reporter.

Her spirit left her body and couldn't come back, first timer's can relate. God abeg if you bring me back to my senses I won't near colos again, omo the experience no dey funny not everyone is lucky to regain sanity back. Dont do drugs!

You'll smoke and wash it down with alcohol meanwhile you've NEVER done a medical checkup in your life. This is the end result.

Their philosophy is that life is too short. That's why they reject habits that can prolong life.

The planet minus one idiot.

You took something that almost ran you mad the first time; you recovered a bit and went to take it again…

No RIP to waste.

I wonder what you people see in these damn drugs!
Something that does not give you any vitamins or minerals… just insanity and death!!
Now you have finally died.

Please NEXT!!!

I can testify...

This is what you get when you try to teach mr. Chimney its job

she was on suicide mission

I doubt this story. If you know the number of people taking this drug and even higher ones in Nigeria. They all would have been died by now. Maybe she died as a result of a secondary issue after talking hard drugs.

Colos does not kill. Fake news.

People react differently to drugs, even common Panadol. One thing you fail to realise is that those drugs like meth (ice), colorado (synthetic cannabis) etc are all chemically derived so there is a huge possibility of malfunction within the body...

Furthermore the human brain controls all activities within the body, if it shuts down, your body shuts down and I think that was what happened in the lady's case.

Stay away from substance use, you won't listen.

Have you notice the number of young destitutes roaming the streets in the recent times?
