This one na mumu upon mumu! Man hangs himself for losing sports bet

A man identified as Uchenna has reportedly killed himself by hanging in his room along Abak road in Uyo, Akwa Ibom state capital, after his hope of winning N22,000 from sports betting crashed.

According to Daily Trust, Uchenna was a perpetual sports gambler and this time around collected his boss’ money in the hope of replacing it when he wins.

Roommate of the deceased, Ifiok, said Uchenna had been lamenting since after losing the money and got himself into a terrible state of mind.

Ifiok said, “I went out to buy something from Plaza (the city center) and on getting back, I found that everywhere was locked.

“I knew Uchenna hadn’t gone out and I wondered what must have made him to 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.”
