Damilola Olakanmi – 23 Year Old Nigerian Law Student Gone After Eating Sweet Infused Candy → Man Arrested

A 23-year-old woman from Ilford has died after eating what she thought was a cannabis sweet, bought on social media. Police have issued an urgent warning around the safety of the sweets, which are known as gummies and often presented in child-friendly packaging. A man has since been charged with a raft of drug offences in relation to the incident. On March 29, the woman ordered the “cannabis sweets” to her home in Ilford off a messaging app. Police said the batch was packaged in “Trrlli Peachie O’s” branding. The 23-year-old and a friend, 21, each ate one sweet and immediately felt unwell. The 23-year-old woman died in hospital on Saturday. A special post-mortem examination will be arranged in due course. Detectives are urgently trying to identify any other cases where Londoners have become seriously unwell after eating cannabis sweets, gummies and similar products.
