Father of 5 dies after drinking 9 bottles of local gin
An unidentified drunk man from Bokkos local government area of Plateau State, who boasted that he could take nine bottles of locally brewed gin known as ogogoro, without getting intoxicated, has died.
Hafsat Abubakar, a woman leader from the Conflict Mediation Mitigation Regional Council (CMMRC) Plateau State chapter said the unidentified man had requested the seller of the local gin to give him 11 bottles and swore that he would finish it without anything untoward or any embarrassing happening.
According to The Nation, the man succeeded in gaggling nine bottles but could no longer continue or finish the remaining two bottles as he immediately gave up while the seller packed up her wares and took to her heels.
It was gathered that before the man died, he was vomiting blood profusely from the nose, ears, and mouth.
The source hinted that a hunter, who was passing by was shocked at the sight of the dead man, and alerted the villagers who took him for burial.
The deceased was said to have a wife and five children.
