Achuku Joseph, a resident of Sabo Pegi area of Lafia, the Nasarawa state capital, has been brutally murdered after winning N11 million on the football betting platform, “Naija Bet”.
The lifeless body of the young man was discovered at the early morning of Saturday abandoned by the roadside at the Federal University, Lafia, with several deep machete wounds.
The Nation gathered from a member of the victim’s family, who pleaded anonymity, that the late Achuku was being monitored right from the time he won the game by some of his friends who earlier threatened his life in order to have a share of the money.
“Achuku had to relocate to another place to hide, but they traced him and used diabolical charms on him which made him sick and started behaving abnormally.
“We then decided to employ the services of a pastor who prayed for him and later took him to the Dalhatu Araf Specialist hospital in Lafia. It was in that process, that certain diabolic portion was discovered in his pocket. The portions were removed and discarded before reviving him,” he explained.
The source added that the deceased went out as early as 6am on Saturday without the knowledge of his family members only to be told that his body was found lifeless shortly after.
The report, however, stated that the case is with the State CID in Lafia, as investigation is ongoing to bring the perpetrators to book, while the corpse is still in police custody. - Daily Post
