MMM Saga: Man Drinks Insecticide After Investing Wedding Money

A man, simply identified as Adakole, residing in Benue state, attempted suicide two weeks to his wedding, after investing N300,000 into the controversial MMM networking program.

After being informed that MMM participants’ accounts have been frozen till further notice, Adakole became filled with grief, as he had reportedly invested N300,000, into the network two weeks to his wedding.

Daily Post, who spoke to a friend of the victim  disclosed that, he is battling for his life at a clinic in Otukpo where the incident occurred. He added that,

“Kole is my childhood friend, we all grew up in Ugbokolo but when he traveled to Abuja to meet with the pastor of his fiancée, he said someone introduced him into the MMM thing, but I and his babe warned him, but he told us the scheme was not a scam. He invested the 300k he was saving for his wedding into the thing and was expecting to get the 30 per cent before his wedding on 28 of this month”

The friend, who said Adakole, had called him to confirm if it was true that the scheme had “crashed” before attempting to take his life, also told Daily Post that he had contacted the fiancée who resided in Abuja.

“This early morning, he called me to check the internet if the story of the alleged crashed of the scheme was true, I told him so I heard and he screamed and hung up. When I heard him, I knew it was no longer funny, so I had to rush to his house around Sabon Gari, to discover that he had taken Raid insecticide. I had to call the fiancée to inform her. I had to take him to the clinic where he is currently battling for his life. The babe is already on her way from Abuja”
