A middle-aged man, identified as Chucks from Imo State, has died after consuming 20 sachets of gin in a N500 bet with a woman, Vanguard reports.
The deceased, a barber, was married, with a child and lived along Ngwa Road area of Aba, Abia State.
An eyewitness said on the fateful day the deceased had gone to a nearby local shop situated within the area to take a sachet of his usual brand of gin and boasted to the shop owner that he could finish 20 sachets.
This was said to have led to an argument between the deceased, the shop owner and other customers in the shop that morning which further escalated into the deceased placing a N500 bet with the shop owner as his opponent.
He was then provided with the sachet drinks for consumption, which he successfully consumed according to reports and went away with the bet money.
