An agent of NairaBet, a sports betting platform, has ended his life over his inability to pay a customer who allegedly won a N600,000 bet.

PUNCH Metro learnt that residents of Obadeyi Ajala woke up on Wednesday to find the deceased dangling from a rope in an uncompleted shop at Ajala bus stop, on the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway.

The incident was said to have drawn a crowd to the area and a girlfriend of the deceased, who reportedly worked in a filling station in the area, was alerted.

The lady reportedly passed out on sighting the body, but was revived by the sympathisers at the scene.

A resident, Monday Gabriel, told our correspondent on the telephone that the lady gave an account of what could have prompted him to commit suicide.

He said, “I was going to my workplace around 8am when I saw people around three uncompleted shops in Ajala bus stop. On getting there, I saw the corpse of a young man in one of the shops dangling from a rope.


“As we wondered what could have made him to kill himself, a lady, who later identified herself as his girlfriend, arrived at the scene and fainted on sighting the corpse. We poured water on her.

“When she regained consciousness, she told us that the man sent her a text message yesterday (Tuesday), saying he wanted to commit suicide. She said she called his line, but he didn’t pick his calls.

“According to the girlfriend, the late man had a NairaBet shop. One of the customers won N600,000, but he has not paid him.”

Gabriel added that two persons later came and took the lady away from the scene on a motorcycle.

Another eyewitness, Olanrewaju Adebiyi, said policemen from the Ijaiye division came to remove the corpse.

He said, “I learnt he ran a NairaBet shop. If it is true that he was owing a customer N600,000, he must have received the money from the NairaBet management and used it for something else. I also play NairaBet and whenever I win, the agent I patronise pays me the moment the company credits his account.


“The company doesn’t owe the agents, but some of them play smart at times when customers win big money.”

An official of NairaBet Contact Centre, who gave her name only as Chidika, told our correspondent on the telephone that the firm always paid for any won ticket, adding that it was not aware of the incident.

She said, “We always pay for any won ticket. An agent has his own personal business. He/she is just a partner with NairaBet in which we share commission on a monthly or weekly basis. So, it depends on the understanding he had with the customer or the issue on the ground before he committed suicide.”


The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Olarinde Famous Cole, confirmed that the case was reported to the police.

“The incident was reported. I will get back to you with more details later,” he said.

Sorry if this sounds insensitive but I think his girlfriend wanted him to die


Why? First of all if you work at a filling station, you must be at work by 6-7, not 8 AM, that's the first kleg

Secondly boyfriend texts you he wants to commit suicide but you stayed at work, calling him, he didn't pick your call and you assumed everything is OK?



On a very good day, considering all the publicity suicide and depression has received, a sane person would rush home to meet bf , if sex would calm him, if it's weed if it's drinking to stupor , something will save him that day



But I guess these generation of ladies, majority of them are selfish money gobbling problems , and they don't love like our fore fathers and parents used to


That's a fact, you can mention or insult all you want it wouldn't change the fact that girls these days are after money only not love

He runs a betting shop, yet he can't pay winning of 600k?

I'm not understanding, 600m or 600k?

Those betting stuffs are scam as far as I'm concerned.

Girlfriend! Na u let him die. Most girls of nowadays know nothing other than posting meaningless selfies on social media.
Your bf sent a suicide text to you and you can't alert anybody, you didn't check on him. Even if it's on April 1st, you shouldn't take it for a joke.

Your head is complete.. In addition, more than girls only love money and not love, girls are becoming more foolish by the seconds. Have you noticed that a girl is less intelligent every other time you see her and you engage her in a conversation? That's their new civilisation. To act mumuish is fashion. Tell a lady of the 80s and late 90s you want to commit suicide and see how she would run naked on the street to come and stop you from doing it not minding if it's a joke or not.

girls of nowadays are mostly gutter girls,they are always money hungry like their bf is their father, most of them cannot even eat in their various houses and they are so lazy.

I have won couple of bets in bet9a.The agent in my area are always reluctant to pay me anytime I won.They will say"No money.I just open shop"They will also want to tax me from the little bet I win as if they console me when I lost.They are rude to customers as well.They need orientation.
