So many persons have died on Saturday when a daredevil eatery owner reportedly poisoned the food he served to his customers. This happened in Ogoja, Cross River State. The eatery operator, it was learnt, last night, confessed to the crime.
The suspect, Paul Armond, who has been arrested by the police, was said to be undergoing interrogation. Dr. Patrick Ubi, Medical Superintendent, General Hospital, Ogoja, where the victims were rushed to, said they ate from the same source, adding that it was regular for them to do so everyday between 9am and 10 am. “After two to three hours, those who ate the food started complaining of abdominal pain; some were vomiting while others were foaming in the mouth”, Ubi said.
The suspect, according to a source, poisoned the customers as a way of getting back at them for an undisclosed reason.
