Kubwa man hospitalised after drinking ‘mkpuru mmiri’ dies

A man, Ikechukwu Paul, who earlier this month got knocked out after he consumed methamphetamine, locally called mkpuru mmiri, in Kubwa, a town in Bwari Area Council of the FCT, has died.

Mkpuru mmiri, coined from the Igbo language, is loosely translated as “seed of water”.
