Unidentified man found unconscious on Anambra road, police seek family

An unidentified middle-aged man was found unconscious by the roadside in Awka, Anambra State, Nigeria, during a police patrol. Witnesses reported that the man had collapsed and lay face down for some time, with some fearing he might be under the influence of drugs or suffer from medical conditions like epilepsy or high blood pressure. Commuters avoided the scene due to concerns for their safety, leading to slowed traffic. Police officers from B Division responded, evacuated the man to a nearby hospital, and confirmed preliminary findings suggesting possible drug influence. Despite efforts to locate his family, no identification was found on the man. Authorities emphasized the dangers of substance abuse and reiterated their campaign against drug-related issues.
