On Colos: Man Reportedly High on ‘Colos’ Collapses at Roundabout

A bizarre scene unfolded on Wednesday at the bustling Nnewi Roundabout in Anambra State when a man, whose identity remains unknown, suddenly collapsed and began convulsing after reportedly inhaling a substance known locally as “Colos” — a slang term for the synthetic drug Colorado.

Witnesses were drawn to the dramatic spectacle as the man, visibly unwell and covered in mud with soaked clothing, lay motionless on the ground. A video capturing the incident quickly made rounds on social media, showing a crowd gathered around the unconscious individual, expressing concern and confusion over his condition.

Online commentary suggested the man was experiencing the effects of the psychoactive substance, which has gained notoriety among youth. While authorities have yet to comment officially, the video has sparked widespread debate. Some viewers criticized the man’s drug use, while others condemned the act of filming and sharing the footage online instead of assisting the victim and seeking immediate medical help.
