According to reports, the deceased ordered the cannabis laced “gummies” (sweets) via a messaging app and were delivered to her house on March 29th.

Upon consumption, Damilola fell ill and was transported to Queens Hospital in critical condition around 11.30 p.m.

Her 21-year-old friend, a student from the United States who visited the UK, was also treated by medics but was later cleared.

Damilola, a student at Hertfordshire University, died on April 2, leaving her mother bereft.

Her mother, Wunmi, whom many know to be a devoted Christian, stood at her daughter’s bedside till she passed away on Saturday night.

“Wumi has lost her only child – she has nothing now”, Wumi’s friend Richard Taylor, 75, told the Evening Standard.

“They had to hold her up because she broke down every time a friend came to the house to give support.

“It’s a tragic warning to all young people about how they live their lives. They should resist drugs.

“Damilola was a promising young woman who should be looking forward to her future and having children of her own. She was studying law.”

A relative of the deceased, identified as Dunni, stated that the family were demanding answers regarding the death of their lovely daughter.

“Damilola was a sweet, quiet girl – a bit of an introvert. Her mother looked up to her.

“She was very kind and loved looking after children and wanted to please everyone. The family will never come to terms with this. We need to know what happened. Her mother is not young any more.

“We don’t want Damilola’s memory to be just like that. You want her to be remembered as the girl who asked everyone, ‘Are you okay and do you want anything?’.”
