A friend who lives in the US, shared this with me and it is worth sharing with our ladies, so that people can stay safe.
Here's the story:
A woman was taken by 5 men, who according to hospital and police report was raped by a gang before being dumped at a bus station!
Though she was unable to remember the events of the previous evening, tests conducted revealed that she had been raped repeatedly.
There was a trace of Rohypnol in her blood.
Rohypnol, is presently being used as a date rape drug.
There's more information on the substance here
It is actually a small sterilization pill which is used by rapists to drug their targets at parties. It is not necessarily new, it has been used for decades in the West and it becoming more common in Africa.
The drug makes the mind of the target (would be victim) go blank so that she does not remember anything that transpired.
There are speculations that the drug permanently sterilizes the victim so that she doesn't conceive from the rape and the rapist need not worry about having his identity revealed later by a paternity test.
HealthJourno took time to go chat with an addiction specialist on www.addictionwithdrawal.com and on the issue of infertility, the specialist said "there is some speculation that it does, however the research behind that speculation is not backed by any testing".
When asked what other side effects could affect someone who had been drugged, the specialist who gave her name as Esther, said that "dependance as well as possible allergic reactions" could happen.
If you have seen the movie, Hangover, you may understand more about how the drug works.
The drug is administered by dropping it into the target's drink.
The girl wouldn't remember a thing the next morning, nothing at all that had taken place the night before will she remember.
Rohypnol, dissolves rapidly and easily in drinks, leaving no taste and no change in color which makes it impossible to detect.
Even though it is supposed to be a prescription drug, some people can get this drug from anyone who is in the vet school or any medical university.
It's that easy and Rohypnol is about to break out big on campuses everywhere.
Girls, please be careful when you're out, especially on a date, don't leave your drink unattended.
(Buy your own drinks, ensure bottles or cans received are unopened or sealed; don't even taste someone else's drink).
There has already been a report in Nigeria of girls' drinks being spiked by Rohypnol.
For guys - Please inform all your female family members, relatives and friends.
Remember you also have sisters or might one day have a daughter(s).
This was sent to me and I feel I should pass it on so that we are better equipped to protect our loved ones.
Please share to protect and save lives and tell the girls especially!
