A
town in South west state of Nigeria was thrown into confusion, when a 35-year-old
auxiliary doctor, who was said to have engaged in a drinking bout died few
minutes after consuming several cans of an alcoholic beverage.
The
victim whose name was given as “Carbon”, an indigene of Idanre, said to be an
auxiliary doctor at a private clinic in the community was hale and hearty prior
to the time he engaged in the consumption of the imported drink.
The
late Carbon was said to have engaged in a bout in one of the drinking spot
popularly called Lalaale.
Speaking
with newsmen, a witness said the deceased had gone to work and at the close of
work, decided to relax at the drinking spot close to his clinic in in the
company of one of his friends said to be a police officer, before the incident.
The
witness said while the deceased was engaged in discussion with his friend, an
argument was said to have ensued about whether or not it is possible for a
person to drink five cans of the liquid at one sitting and the late Carbon was
said to have boasted of his ability to perform the feat, leading his friend to
place a bet of N10,000 and challenged him to do it.
The
deceased was said to have gulped down five of the 35cl cans of the alcoholic
beverage within a few minutes after which he collected the money.
Events
were however said to have taken a dramatic turn as few minutes later, the late
Carbon became unconscious after complaining of severe abdominal pain and
requested for assistance from people drinking in the joint.
He
was said to have been taken to a nearby hospital but gave up the ghost before
medical assistance could be given to him.
