A Chinese restaurant owner has been arrested after allegedly lacing dishes with opium in an effort to keep customers coming back, BBC News reported.
The owner of the Yan'an noodle shop, known only as Zhang, admitted he bought 4.4 pounds of poppy buds in August. The buds contain the opium poppy seeds, from which the addictive narcotic opium is made.
Zhang allegedly crushed the buds into powder form and mixed them into menu items.
Police discovered the secret ingredient after one of Zhang's customers, Liu Juyou, 26, tested positive for drugs during a routine traffic stop.
Cops held Juyou for 15 days until he sent relatives to the restaurant to eat the noodles in question. After the family members tested positive for drugs, police launched an investigation.
Zhang was arrested and detained for 10 days.
An anti-narcotics police agent told BBC News that chemicals from poppy can build up in the body and create a positive result on an opiate drug test. Ingesting the food over a long period of time can even have an addictive effect.
Unprocessed poppy seeds used to be a popular ingredient in Chinese fare, but their use has since been banned, according to the BBC.

ReplyDeleteI remember one lady in Eleme who ran mad after admitting "washing" inside the food. The influx of people there was just too much,buka for that matter. I pointed this out to hubby (BF then) when he took me there the first time and he just waved it off.
Another woman I strongly suspect is one akwa ibom lady on stadium road PHC. If you see that joint ehn,you won't believe the cars and men on suit that visit that place.
Only God dey protect person.

ReplyDeleteMy fellow blog readers, did anybody know KAYMU.COM or EVERYDAY BOUTIQUE that is selling clothes inside unilag campus? Abeg they should return my money or change the cloth I bought from them, On sept 15th, I saw some clothes I like online through KAYMU.COM online store, I registered with them online and bought some cloth, eventually one EVERYDAY BOUTIQUE call and told me that there is a product I bought from his boutique through Kaymu.com. I said yes, he said ok, they are going to bring it to my house and I am going to pay for the service fee, I accepted,the next day they brought the cloth I bought and I paid them and left only for me to come back home and notice the cloth wasn't my size,I called immediately to tell him that the cloth was not my size that he has to change it for me, he accepted and told me that I will payfrom another service fee, I accepted, but up till now I have not heard from everyday boutique, I have called and called and called his line was switched off, I called kaymu online store and tendered my complain, they said they will look into it, but up till now, nothing have been done. Now I want to know, is this how the so called online bussiness operate? Why are they bunch of liars everywhere, if they can't change my blouse. Why cant they balance me my money? Have anyone experienced this type of thing? What do I do because I want to report them to the CONSUMER PROTECTION COUNCIL.
I keep telling people to stop buying stuffs online in thi country but they won't listen..I don't trust all these people even Konga nd Jumia..
DeleteImmacu biko go to ur tailor and mend/shape the clothe in question. Stop making case where there is none.
DeleteNwunye Okeke
Anon 7:36.....abeg,,reason well nah. what if the blouse is small for her,,she should give it to her tailor too maybe the tailor could just add dry lace or ankara to make it her size. She said its not her size,,does that mean it is big for her?? its not compulsory to comment if u dont understand d person's plight.
DeleteNwunye okeke! People like you, are part of the problems we have in Nigeria! You easily accept rubbish services from government and even a mere online retailer. Suffering and smiling mentality! Forward never backward ever! Demand for your right and never settle for less that's how to make the system work !
DeleteMy dear,I bought from Jumia exercise equipment,paid in a hurry after d delivery guy left I opened it and found out it was rusted,being calling thier customer care till today no response,rogues and thief's

ReplyDeleteHim for name the restaurant 'highness restaurant'. Person go just dey misyarn, you no go no say na food wey you chop. if you think about what restaurant foods go through, you won't eat out. A woman in my hometown confessed to using corpse water to cook, a guy that works in a morgue supplies her the stuff. What people do for money.
ReplyDeleteWhattttttt?these restaurant sellers can be very heartless jst to make sales,how can they be destroying pple's life gradually jst 4 their own selfish interest?pple should be very careful over their intakes from a public restaurant cos this kind of story can make one loose important something unknowingly .
ReplyDeleteStells, you won't believe all sorts of things these restaurant owners get up to in order to make profit.
ReplyDeleteI once watched a documentary where chemicals where added to chinese buffet to make people feel fuller quicker. And the native ones aren't any better, make person no come exchange him destiny for food, lmao.

ReplyDeleteSome even use water from the mortuary to cook, God ve mercy on us.
I was getting addicted to a particular cow tail pepper soup. I stopped eating normal meals. A day without about 3 plates of the p soup ain't complete. It became so bad that I'd buy about 3 days supply so that I don't have to drive the distance again.
ReplyDeleteI even introduced my husband to it. After the p soup the next item on the agenda name knacking. Till I read somewhere how people used marijuana or igbo to make p soup. I started suspecting my customer. For almost a year now i stopped patronising her. She even saw me yesterday and was greeting me. In my mind I was casting and binding.
Hahahahahahaha...
DeleteHahahahahahaha...
DeleteNa today? Even t*t* wey dey shark is well lace......nothing is new....
ReplyDeleteAnd i love chinese food oh
ReplyDeleteWhat you don't know wont kill you.
Am just scared to think of what Nigerian buka/restaurant owners can wash and put inside food then...when I think of these things...I cringe!
ReplyDeleteGod delivers us ooooooh! Especially does DAT eat out not that they want to, but d situation in Lagos won't allow dem except weekends after DAT back to normal routine....u can't say u going to store food in d refrigerator cos u can't trust NEPA.....infact ma food is covered in d blood of Jesus!!!! No weapon formed against me be it opium, wash n put,black Maggi, chop n come back,Mama dolphin etc shall prosper....when dey gather they shall scatter for ma sake....Amen #sipsfabslimtox

ReplyDeleteNigerians and their stupid mentality......so anyone who has high patronage is doing juju? Go to America some diners and food trucks have people who eat in them twice a day the whole week......some food trucks have people lining up for hours just buy their favorite snacks......these are joints that some have been opened for more than 50 years or even more".....yes shit happens but nothing strange in addicted to a particular food....
