— TeiQo II 🕯️ (@JayBLARQ) September 17, 2026This is foolishness mot risk sef cos he took it from someone and tasted it, if there's a deadly substance in it meaning the 2 of them go die instead. It's different if it's from you and you are tasting to prove you haven't put anything in it
— CFCmicky (@MazacarMicky) September 17, 2026All for the optics I think. Cos if you really want to protect him, you will carry anything he drinks from home already checked; not publicly collecting from random people and walking to him and tasting it for who to think you're doing something??? Besides, poison kills slowly...
— Efo Norvisi (@EfoNorvisi) September 17, 2026Settings…if it’s poisoned,it will surely kill them both cos poison works slowly. It would have been consumed already
— Kofi Appenteng (@KofiAppenteng11) September 17, 2026What if there is poison and it took more than 30 minutes or hours to take effect ? Like them all …. Be that ? 😂
