ceremony of another friend, who was living in Idi-Iroko.
"All the three friends returned to Lagos on Thursday, last week.
"The following day, which was Friday, Taiye said he had a stomach
upset and they went to get him some herbs to treat the ailment."

to hold him, he ran out of the house."
In the process of running, it was gathered that Taiye fell and injured
himself in the head.
He was said to have continued his flight, but was later found with the
security men at the entrance into the estate. The men explained to his
friends thatAlfahad lost his mind.

name, shook him, but he did not respond."
The herb seller, Bilikisu Ayilara, said she did not know anything
about the death of the victim.
She said, "I have been selling herbs for a long time and I have never
had problems.
"I don't know the man that died. His friend usually patronised me. He
came that day and said his friend had a stomach upset.
"I gave himjedi-jediand small leaf and that was all. It was later I
learnt the man who took it ran mad and died. I am innocent."
The victim's father, Olaiya, appealed to the police to release his
son's corpse to him.

son to me and release the suspects."
