How I survived two poisoning attempts – Leo DaSilva

Media personality Leo DaSilva has revealed that he survived two separate poisoning incidents, sharing details of the traumatic experiences with his followers.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), DaSilva disclosed that the first incident occurred when he was just seven years old.

According to him, he was poisoned through a plate of egusi soup containing pomo and meat.

He recalled that the woman responsible for the meal had deliberately prevented her own children from eating the food, raising suspicions after the incident.

“The first time was with egusi soup with pomo and soft meat… I had stomach pain, but I kept eating,” he recounted.

DaSilva further revealed that the second incident happened years later, in 2012, when he was served jollof rice and turkey laced with poison.

Despite the severity of both experiences, the reality TV star said he survived the incidents, noting that the first case was the most critical.

“The egusi lady was the only one who came close to succeeding,” he added.
