Abiodun noted that events took a fatal turn shortly after the meal was served.

 

“During the visit, it was reported that Stella served her guest some food, later allegedly convulsing and collapsing. The victim was later taken to the General Hospital where he was confirmed dead.”

 

The police spokesperson disclosed that Stella Joseph has since been arrested as investigations continue.
