Gambling: Nigerian CEO commits suicide after reportedly losing N2.5m to betting
A Nigerian man has committed suicide after revealing his plans on Facebook.
Onoh Chukwuma Richard, the CEO of Faso Energy Limited, died by consuming sniper.
According to reports, he borrowed a huge sum of money but lost it in a bet.
Earlier today, he went live on Facebook to reveal plans to exit the world. He recorded a wordless video in a lemon-coloured t-shirt. That was his last video.
He also made a post, writing: “Today is my last day on earth. I going to meet my maker.”
Friends immediately started reaching out to him, but they found him writhing in pain. They rushed him to Madonna Hospital in Umuahia.
Sadly, the Abia-born businessman died.
A video of him in hospital shows him wearing the same clothes he had on during his live video. Some friends claim he already ingested the sniper before going live.
He is survived by his elderly mother, whom he regularly writes about on Facebook. Just weeks ago, he spoke about his mother urging him to find a wife and get married.
