The Reuters news agency spoke to one woman at a hospital in Nasarawa state, who said her condition had got much worse since she was not able to get hold of the combination of drugs.

"We mourn the sudden demise of our ex-player Abubakar Lawal earlier today. May God grant him eternal rest," his former team in Nigeria, Nasarawa United, said.

Later that month, the corps raided a location in Karu, Nasarawa State, near Abuja, leading to the arrest of four Chinese nationals and the seizure of tons of lithium.

Just last week some students died as rice was about to be distributed at Nasarawa State University in central Nigeria.

Nigeria’s military often conducts air raids as it fights the extremist violence and rebel attacks that have destabilized Nigeria’s north for more than a decade, often leaving civilian casualties in its wake, including in January when dozens were killed in Nasarawa state and in December 2022 when dozens also died in Zamfara state.
