A Nigerian Doctor on Twitter, with the user name: The_Bearded_Dr_ Sina, has raised the alarm over a photograph of singer Olamide Baddo allegedly inhaling drugs through an inflated balloon.
In the photo, Olamide, grabbed one part of the buttock of a white lady standing in front of him and a balloon was in his mouth as he checked his phone.
Also, the lady who backed the camera had a balloon in her mouth as she could be seen through a mirror.
There were wine bottles and glasses and two bottles of canisters of Nitrous Oxide on the floor close to the bed the rapper was sitting on.
According to the medical professional, he recently participated in a Twitter space with the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency on how people now do balloons.
He added that the substances were most likely pumped into the balloons for the YBNL boss to inhale.
Not stopping there, the Doctor added that a number of celebrities will be affected if the country will win the war against hard substances.
The Doctor also detailed the damage that can be done to a person who “does balloons”.
