A trending video has captured the moment a man was confronted by his friends for allegedly stealing about N6.6 million to gamble on a sports bet.
It was learnt that the victim gave his friend his Automated Teller Machine card to get food for him, but he absconded.
While he was on the run, he linked the ATM card it to a sport betting app.
He then started funding his betting account with the ATM card in small payments, totaling N6.6 million.
A glimpse at his transaction history showed that he made multiple payments of N130,000 and N100,000 to his betting account.
However, he was tracked down to Badagry, Lagos State, where he was caught by his friends who manhandled him while questioning him on the reasoning for stealing and investing it in betting.
The man then stated that he wanted to multiply the money, which was why he used it to stake bets.
