Two die, two hospitalised after consuming drug in Ogun

In Isara Remo, Ogun State, Nigeria, two people died and two others were hospitalized after allegedly consuming nitrous oxide, commonly known as 'laughing gas.' The incident, reported on Tuesday, involved four individuals believed to be students of the Gateway ICT Polytechnic, Saapade. A local resident described the event, noting that the victims were taking the substance recreationally. The Ogun State Police Command confirmed the incident and stated they are investigating the drug-related case, though they have not yet confirmed if the deceased were indeed students. The police warned against drug abuse and emphasized the dangers of recreational use of nitrous oxide, which is a medical anesthetic with legitimate uses but can be fatal when misused. Efforts to contact the polytechnic's management for comment were unsuccessful.
