They are between 15 to 22 years old. Yesterday Tuesday, they were caught in their uniforms in a room in the Maképè Missokè quarter. There were five girls and four boys. Most of them are pupils at the private college called MATURITÉ located in BEPANDA.
They had skipped classes to meet as part of a birthday party. Consuming alcohol in abundance before indulging in watching pornographic movies. It was the screams of one of the youngest of them, most weakened, that alerted the neighbourhood, who then called law enforcement.
Then the elements of the security forces arrived on the scene. All were arrested and taken away by the gendarmerie. Three people found in a state of severe weakness, were admitted to the ACHA Presbyterian Hospital in Bepanda.
The investigation is ongoing. The gendarmerie is investigating whether the alcohol contained any narcotics or other toxic substance. The hospital then carried out HIV tests on the young people who remained in a state of weakness.
As for Maturité college, they held a special assembly this morning to warn and educate students about the risks of alcohol, drug use and other deviant behaviour.
