EastEnders follow-up: Kojo's drugs horror worsens when Jack goes to arrest him

Jack sticks his oar in
Joel Harley

A horrified George Knight found Kojo Asare in a terrible state in EastEnders tonight (Tuesday, August 20) after discovering his brother passed out on a park bench, having taken drugs. This was quite the turn of events for Kojo, whose birthday plans came crashing down around his head thanks to George, Nicola and Okie.

George had let Kojo down after promising to take him out for the day, instead choosing to hook up with Nicola as they bonded over their terrible fathers.

This left Kojo at a loose end. And, returning to his flat, he was dismayed to find the place overrun with drug dealers.

Okie gave Kojo drugs in EastEnders tonight

When a stressed-out Kojo attempted to call George for backup, Okie instead handed him a pill. Insisting that it would help chill Kojo out, Okie successfully talked him into taking the drug.

Meanwhile, George got a telling off from Gina after she found him in Harry’s Barn in a state of undress. Feeling bad about letting Kojo down, George set off to find his brother.

Guilt turned to panic when he found Kojo passed out in the Square garden. As Nicola ran to get help, George rushed to Kojo’s aid.

Finding an empty baggie in his hand, he realised that Kojo must have taken drugs. But with Jack on the way, what’s next for Kojo?
