In what was meant to be a joyful birthday celebration, tragedy struck in Kwara State when a young man reportedly jumped into a well after allegedly taking a potent substance known as "Colos" with his friends. The incident, which occurred earlier today, has left many in shock, sparking a wave of reactions across social media.
According to eyewitnesses at the scene, the man—whose identity is yet to be confirmed—was celebrating his birthday with a group of friends when they decided to take the illicit substance to "heighten" the fun. Moments later, the mood of the party took a drastic turn.
"He was laughing and acting very hyper," one of the bystanders recounted. "Then suddenly, he got up, ran straight to the well, and jumped in before anyone could stop him."
Videos circulating online show the aftermath of the incident, with a crowd gathered around the well, some in disbelief and others frantically calling for help. Rescue efforts were launched immediately, but sadly, by the time help arrived, the young man had reportedly passed away.
What Is “Colos”?
"Colos" is a street slang referring to a dangerous combination of substances, often used recreationally but known to cause hallucinations, paranoia, and severe mental disorientation. Its abuse, especially among young people, has been on the rise despite warnings from health experts and law enforcement.
Community Reactions
The incident has sparked fresh conversations about drug abuse and mental health awareness among Nigerian youths. On X (formerly Twitter), one user wrote: "We keep losing bright young people to substance abuse. When will this stop?"
Another commented: "Colos is not your friend. It doesn’t make you invincible. It makes you vulnerable. Rest in peace, young man."
Authorities Respond
Local authorities and health officials have not yet released an official statement, but sources suggest investigations are ongoing. The police are expected to question those who were with the deceased at the time of the incident.
Final Thoughts
What should have been a day of joy turned into a nightmare, once again highlighting the dangers of drug abuse and the need for stronger awareness and education. As the community mourns, one thing remains clear: more must be done to protect the youth from the harmful allure of substances like Colos.
