CYNTHIA'S MURDER: FG TO BAN 'DATE RAPE' DRUG

Federal Government has made move to ban the sale of the ‘date rape drug’,  a sedative with hypnotic effect allegedly used to lure late Cyhthia Osokogu to complacency and later killed in Festac, Lagos. The Federal Executive Council meeting on Wednesday in Abuja resolved to ban the sale of rophynol drug clinically known as Flunitrazepam, because of the need to curb its disastrous use.


The ban was informed by the ugly trend of the abuse of the drug by the youths, which has become a means of facilitating the incidence of rape.

This is definitely a welcome development. I don't even see the advantage of putting the drug out there in the first place.
