LASU Female student dies after drinking mixed liquor

A female student of the Lagos State University has reportedly lost her life after consuming mixed liqour.
Lara Omowunmi Gbadeyanreportedly consumed a mixture of Magic Moment, Vodka, Elliot, Orijin and Smirnoff Ice.

She reportedly attended an award ceremony organized by theHistory Departmentof the institution held atTreasure Palace Hotel in Igando, Lagos.

A 200 level History and International Studies student, Olugbenga Pelumi explained how Gbadeyan lost her life, Thenation reports.

'Lara, who never took alcohol before, out of probable peer influence, decided to drink. During the course of the party, she drank many cups of alcoholic spirits (Elliot and Magic Moments). When she got drunk, Lara began to misbehave and her friends took it for the normal drama inherent in drunkenness. It, however, proved to be much more than that, as she began to shout and speak languages alien to the ears. Students who were present poured water on her, she asked to urinate, which she did. After a while, blood was seen dropping from her nose and later her mouth. She was rushed to a hospital. The students who were there initially felt it was as a result of her actions under the alcohol’s influence, because during the course of her drunkenness, she threw herself on the floor and her friends tried frantically to hold her. She was later rushed to a hospital.”
Pelumi said Lara was confirmed dead at the hospital.

The corpse of Gbadeyan, was taken to Lagos State University Teaching Hospital mortuary by other students before the case was reported to the police at Igando division where investigation is ongoing.

Thedoctor in chargewas quoted as saying “She took excessive alcohol, which she apparently has not taken before; this affected the flow of blood in her brain”.

Omope Olawunmi,a 200 level student of the same department said: “What you cannot do at home, don’t do it in school.

It’s not a must you take alcohol at parties, you can take malt or yoghurt. Girls should also imbibe the culture of self discipline.”
Another 200 level student, Maryam Rasaq, said: “University students should not misuse their freedom. The fact that you are in a university does not mean you have the right to behave anyhow. We should try as much as possible to be disciplined no matter the temptations and peer influence.”

Party Gone Wrong as one Lasu Student died and the other Unconscious

The 2016 Annual Award Night of the students of the Department of History, Lagos State University, turned tragic as a female student died while another one became unconscious after taking a mixture of different alcoholic drinks.
The two students, identified as Lara Gbadeyan and Oladipupo Arofeso, Sunday Tribune gathered, were both rushed to Igando General Hospital, where Gbadeyan was confirmed dead and Arofeso unconscious.
Sunday Tribune gathered that the deceased and the unconscious student had gone with their colleagues in the department to Igando, where the event took place.
Some of their colleagues told the police in the state that the duo took a mixture of Magic Moment (vodka), Elliot, Orijin and Smirnoff Ice at the event.
The two students were said to have started misbehaving “until some of their colleagues came to their senses that it was the effect of the alcohol on them.”
The misbehaviour from the two female students created confusion among their colleagues, who made frantic efforts to revive them, Sunday Tribune gathered.
But the situation reportedly became more serious as the two female students became unconscious, leading to their colleagues to rush them to the General Hospital in Igando.
A source at the Igando Divisional police station confirmed the incident to Sunday Tribune, noting that investigations had commenced on the incident.
The police source also told Sunday Tribune that the remains of the deceased student had been deposited at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) for autopsy.
He also added that the other student had remained at the Igando General Hospital, where she was receiving attention from health workers.
