19-Year-Old U.S Based Nigerian Arrested For Selling Drugs Which Killed High School Lovers

19-yr-old U.S-based Nigerian boy has been arrested for selling the drugs which killed two high school lovers

The 19-year-old who is identified as Abdulbaaith Adewale, has been arrested after two Woodlamds High school students who are also lovers, were found dead in the month May.

Reports say that the suspect has been charged with two counts of manufacture or delivery of a controlled substance causing death or serious bodily injury after fentanyl was found in the teens’ systems.

The two students have been identified as 18-year-old Irene Sunderland and 17-year-old Gregory Blodgett. They were found dead in Irene Sunderland’s home on May 5, which was the day her mother wanted to take her to a rehabilitation center after she struggled with drug addiction for years.

The Police said they did not believe foul play was involved at first and suspected that the students had died from a drug overdose.

A forensic autopsy and toxicology report later confirmed the presence of fentanyl.
