A man identified as Achuku Joseph, has been feared killed after winning
N11 million in a football betting called Naijabet. What happened?
The incident occurred in Sabo Pegi, Lafia, the Nasarawa State capital.
The
body was found last Saturday morning. It was dumped by the roadside
near the Federal University, Lafia. Deep cuts were on it.
The
Nation learnt that [some of] his friends had been monitoring since he
won the game. They threatened to kill him if he did not give them
their share.
A source said: “Achuku relocated to another place to
hide, but they traced him and used charms on him, which made him to
become ill. He started behaving abnormally.
“We called a pastor,
who prayed for him and later took him to Dalhatu Araf Specialist
Hospital, Lafia. A potion was discovered in his pocket and it was
removed. He then recuperated.”
He said the deceased went out at
6am last Saturday without the knowledge of his family, and his body was
found by the roadside thereafter.
Police spokesman John Kennedy said: “We are yet to be briefed.”
