Birthday Tragedy – How A Youngman, Ibrahim Drank Himself To Death

Residents of Ikosi-Ketu Lagos State are still mourning the loss of one of their own, identified as Balogun Ayoola Ibrahim  who passed away in the wee hours of Wednesday after a drinking spree.

Incidentally, the drink which turned tragic was to celebrate his birthday,

The Eagle correspondent can report that the late Ibrahim was a very popular individual in the Ketu/Ojota axis, due to his good looks and industry.

At the same time however, he was reckless, and was said to have fled his neighborhood after committing atrocities and relocated to Shagamu Ogun state.

One of such misdemeanors was bolting with a friend’s phone, which forced him to steer clear of the Ketu axis.

He did not have a particularly pleasant upbringing given that he came from a broken home, and lacked close parental supervision.

When the news broke in the neigbourhood on Wednesday, it was met with mixed reactions.

A close friend of Ibrahim who preferred to be anonymous, just declared that Ibrahim wasted his own life and added that he had been so much pained by the young man’s demise.

According to him, Ibrahim had gone with other friends to drink as it was his birthday, and developed a seizure during the spree.

Out of fear, his friends quickly dumped him in front of a church compound and left without informing anyone.

The neighborhood is still yet to recover from the loss.

Since the death, his father and kid sister have been wearing a sad face.

Many other youths in the area are yet to come to terms with the incident.
