After being separated from his companion, a man commits suicide.
An unidentified guy, named only as Adegbite, is claimed to have committed himself after losing N150,000 in sports betting.
According to the Federal Capital Territory Police Command, an investigation into the event began on Tuesday, December 7 in Pegi, in the Kuje local government area of Abuja.
During an interview with Punch, a coworker revealed that Adegbite committed himself because he lost the company's money in sports betting.
As close colleague of his explain;
It took us completely by surprise when it happened. He was given the money so that he could pay some of the employees at his place of employment. The sum of money was in the neighborhood of N150,000. He took the money to a sports betting establishment and placed a bet on the outcome. He chose a few matches, but he did not come out on top. He had hoped that he would be victorious and that the money would be returned to him.
It was not until the following morning that his neighbours noticed him missing. They realized that he was inside; they forced the door down and discovered his body dangling from the ceiling fan, which they removed. They called the authorities, who came and took his body away."
DSP Josephine Adeh, a spokesperson for the FCT Police Command, verified the occurrence and also stated that an investigation is currently underway.
