The Police Command in Nasarawa State has commenced investigations into the circumstances surrounding the alleged murder of one Joseph Achuku over his Bet9ja pool win.
DSP Idrisu Kennedy, the Command’s Public Relations Officer, disclosed on Tuesday in Lafia.he said available information indicated that Achuku’s death might not be unconnected with the N7.4m he won in the Bet9ja lotto.
He said the corpse was recovered on Sunday along Federal University, Lafia, following distress calls from residents of the area. The remains, which were deposited at Dalhatu Araf Specialist Hospital mortuary, was released to Achuku’s family on Tuesday for burial.
The PPRO said though no arrest has been made, the Command would ensure that the perpetrators are arrested and prosecuted. A source from the family of the deceased, who preferred anonymity, disclosed that the alleged killers started hunting Achuku since he won the lottery. He said that the yet-to-be identified suspects followed Achuku to the family house, attacked him and took away all the documents relating to the bet.

*Took away all the documents?so that he wont have proof he won?hmmmmmm
hmmmmmm wickedness in the highest order.
ReplyDeleteRIP Joseph. May God deal mercilessly with your assailants Amen
Its a pool. All the winners in the pool will share the sum equally. The fewer winners there are (due to death etc) the bigger the share for the others. At that level, the winners are usually less than 5, so taking one person out substantially increases the lot of the rest.
