Chef arrested after a sick man died in her restaurant

A man has narrated the ordeal of his girlfriend who was arrested for allegedly having a hand in the death of a customer at her restaurant.

He said the sick man bought food at her restaurant, “midway into his meal, this guy brought out some drugs to take and then he finished his meal. Table was cleared but the guy remained seated. Then few minutes later, he was observed to have laid his head on the table, eyes closed and they thought he was sleeping, not knowing the guy has passed off.”

He said after about 30 minutes, one of his girlfriend’s workers decided to wake him to leave so that other customers could make use of his chair as everywhere was filled up. She raised the alarm when she tried to wake him and he was not responding. The man was then rushed to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead.

“Sometimes last year, I gave my girlfriend some money to startup a restaurant business and she has been managing it well without issues.

“She was doing so well that in no short time the business expanded, clean working and classy looking environment. Her workers were quite trained and they were neat as regards the preparation of the food they sell.

“Trouble started last week. I got a frantic call from one of my Girlfriend’s workers and she told me my babe got arrested by the police with some of her workers, she was the only one who eluded them,” he narrated.

He said two hours later, his girlfriend’s restaurant was raided by the police on the suspicion that he poisoned the man. All the food she cooked that day were seized and taken away for testing. And she and her workers have been in jail since and all efforts to see her have been abortive.

“I just don’t know what to do. The food they claimed was poisoned was served to others and no one complained of even stomach pains not to speak of dying. I even ate from the food earlier that morning.

“The way the whole case is going is so confusing and murky and it seems the guys family are well of and they are looking for someone to blame, innocent or not.

“So guys, please what do I do? My girlfriend is all alone, no notable family to speak of, who could come out to help. Her parents are late and she isn’t close to her relatives. I’m all she’s got,” he said emotionally.
