On Wednesday, well-known Yoruba actress Ronke Oshodi Oke described how she received a call in the middle of the night informing her that her daughter had consumed hypo and was being taken to the hospital.
She noted that it took her daughter three hospital visits before she started to feel better.
This was explained by the actress, who spoke both Yoruba and English, in a video posted on her Instagram page.
She called on parents to be mindful of their children and always advise them, while also warning the school to ensure that such occurrences were avoided.
She said, “My daughter is in the university now. About three weeks ago, they called me around 3.45am that my daughter Jummy drank hypo, I was like hypo? How will my daughter drink hypo?
“I went to the hospital she was in. She was crying. She wasn’t herself.
“What happened is that maybe her roommate or her friends deliberately pour hypo into the water that she drank. They wanted to kill her.”
The actress, however, did not mention the name of the school.
She continued, “I intentionally did not mention the name of the school, because I do not want to spoil the name of the school.
“I am warning the school for the last time. If anything like this happens to my daughter again – I only gave birth to two children – I won’t take it likely.
“We went to three hospitals before my daughter was okay.”
