 Remember the story?

A Federal High Court sitting in Lagos, Friday convicted and setenced to seven years imprisonment, two employees of the company, Adeyemo Abiodun and Ebele Eromosele.

The company and its employees were charged on an amended six-count charged of the production of a killer syrup, “my pikin.”

Shortly after allocutus by defence counsel, the first accused Adeyemo Abiodun, suddenly started shaking and gradually began to collapse.

The judge then summoned the medical doctor in charge of the Federal High Court, who after examining the accused, confirmed he was hypertensive, and his blood pressure, very high.
