Hauwa ‘Jaruma‘ Muhammad, the self-proclaimed sex therapist, has spoken about her battle with substance abuse.
In 2023, there were speculations that the entrepreneur was
under rehabilitation after a video of her looking distressed went viral.
Tosin Silverdam, the blogger, had claimed Jaruma was
rehabilitated in Abuja for substance abuse.
But speaking in an X space organised by NDLEA on Friday,
Jaruma revealed that she started to abuse drugs when she came to the limelight.
The sex therapist said a close friend invited her for a
hang-out and tried convincing her to take marijuana but she refused.
“I once made a video on YouTube discussing something. It was
just a plan; I didn’t know the video would go viral and turn me into the Jaruma
everyone knows,” she said.
“I was trying to get a job and earn a regular income. Being
in the spotlight, I made some mistakes. I never got involved in drugs during my
secondary school and university days because I was my mother’s only child. One
day, a friend who I knew was into drugs (marijuana) invited me to hang out. We
were chilling together, and she offered me the marijuana, but I refused, saying
I was okay.
“She then asked me
how I relax since I don’t drink or smoke, mentioning that every celebrity has a
way to relieve stress. I told her I can’t do drugs or drink because I’m Muslim.
A few days later, I saw them with a balloon, and I wondered what on earth they
were doing with it. I had no idea what it was. She said, ‘Let me show you.’ If
I had known what the balloon (hard drug) was, I would have refused it, just
like I refused the marijuana earlier because I know what weed (cannabis) is,
what codeine is, and all that stuff, so when offered, I can say no.”
Jaruma revealed that when she eventually yielded to her
friend’s request and inhaled the balloon, her brain function ceased and she
started to drool.
“I was on the floor, and then my friend said that’s the
initial effect, but after I do it one, two, three, four times, I’ll get used to
it, and it will become normal, and I won’t be drooling anymore,” she said.
“This was something I didn’t know. She gave me the balloon,
put it in my mouth, and said, ‘Just inhale it,’ and I did.
“So, after I regained
consciousness, I left because I was so upset. So, I left and never spoke to her
again.”
HOW LAGOS-BASED
COSMETIC SURGEON INTRODUCED ME TO HARD DRUGS
The entrepreneur, who runs a s__x enhancement brand, said she started using hard drugs after she met Anuoluwapo Adepoju, the Lagos-based plastic surgeon.
Jaruma said she was “deceived into believing” that the drugs
would help fight off her depression and she kept taking it until she became
addicted to substance usage.
The graduate of International Relations and Human Therapy
from Istanbul Kultur University, Turkey said she attempted to commit suicide
after “I became tired of everything”.
“Then Dr. Anu came. She had told me some things. She said
some people have been paid to bring me down and tarnish my image. She said some
people are after me. The details are not for here, you can follow me on
Instagram or Twitter. I will post more details on that. I reported Dr Anu to my
fathers Buba Marwa and Femi Babafemi. They were getting ready. I sued her in
court. Sooner, you are going to see the petition with the date and everything.
NDLEA were so mad when I told them what happened,” she said.
“… she said ‘let me give you one injection. If I give you
that injection, you are going to sleep like you have never slept before. She
claimed I was going to forget all my problems. She grabbed my arm and did the
injection. The moment it touched my blood. I felt something at the back of my
neck onto my shoulders. The body had felt something it had never felt before.
As she was pushing I was collapsing. I was falling off my bed until I was
completely knocked out.
“I did not know where I was. I did not know what I was
doing. I was knocked out completely for like two weeks. When I woke up, my
hands and veins were swollen. A few weeks later, when someone started saying
something about me, I called and asked if I could get that sleeping injection.
One pack was N60,000. I think I paid N720,000 to her.
“She would sometimes send the injections to me or come do it herself. I got nurses who would be injecting me every night. And then at some point, one stopped working for me. I mean one dose. I started using two doses. Two stopped working. I started doing three doses. Sometimes I do five at once. And that was when my body started jacking like I had epilepsy. And then foam was now coming out my mouth.
“Cocaine makes you hyper. Drugs make you low, after that
initial feeling that the injection is sweet. When you wake up you feel one kind
of depression. You even feel worse every time you wake up. I feel like crap.
“One time I got fed up and I just wanted to die. I was just
tired. I knew what five doses did to me. So, I purposely injected myself with
10 doses. When my workers found me I was not breathing. I did the injection
myself and used a very big vein on my wrist. I was becoming unconscious. As I
was becoming unconscious, the needle fell out, and the blood from the big vein
was gushing out. It was a horrific sight to see.
“Next thing, I just saw myself in a white environment with
big machines and doctors around me. Doctors trying to bring me back to life.
And I said I am still not dead?”
