Nigerian Man Commits Suicide After Losing ₦22K On Football Betting
A man in his early 30s, Mr. Uchenna, hanged himself in his room along Abak
road in Uyo, Akwa Ibom state capital, after
losing N22,000 to sports betting.
Our correspondent gathered that Uchenna was a perpetual sports gambler
with Naija Bet and that he took the said sum he lost from his boss in the hope
that he would replace it when he wins. Uchenna’s roommate, Ifiok, said
the deceased had been lamenting after losing the money and got himself into a
terrible state of mind.
“I went out to buy something from Plaza (the city center) and on getting back
I found that everywhere was locked. I knew Uchenna hasn’t gone out and I
wondered what must have made him lock up himself. I tried to open the door for
several minutes without success until I had to force it open. I then found him
hanging from the ceiling fan in our room and his eyes had popped out,” Ifiok
said. A neighbour who spoke to our correspondent, Uto Udobia, decried the
high rate of sports betting which has become prevalent among the youths and
even elders
