A 23-year-old business law student who died after eating a suspected cannabis sweet has been identified as British-Nigerian law student, Damilola Olakanmi.

Damilola, from Ilford, east London, reportedly bought the ‘gummies’ through a messaging app and they were delivered to her home where she fell ill last Tuesday.

The Hertfordshire University student was rushed to Queen’s Hospital, Romford, at around 11.30pm – but died on April 2.

Her 21-year-old friend – a US student visiting the UK – was also seen by medics but was discharged after treatment.

Damilola’s mother, Wumi, 51, had reportedly kept a vigil next to her bed until she passed away on Saturday night.
