Nigerian Woman Seeks Help as Brother’s Alleged Drug Addiction Worsens

A Nigerian woman has appealed for help over her brother’s alleged drug addiction, which she says began after he gained admission to the University of Lagos in 2019. She said she has taken him to about seven psychiatric and treatment facilities, including hospitals in Yaba and a military hospital, but his condition has reportedly worsened. According to her, he has become violent, destructive and often wanders around Lagos. The woman said years of caring for him have left her exhausted. She moved out with her daughter for safety, but said her brother and parents later came to stay with her after they were evicted. She is seeking advice and support on where he can receive effective treatment.
