A young man has taken to social media to cry out for help after losing his mother's entire savings of N8 million on sports betting.
The man, whose identity remains undisclosed, reportedly used his mother's whopping savings in a bid to make huge gains, only to see his efforts crumble before him.
The news came to light when an influencer, known as Shola, shared the man's plea for assistance on social media.
Alongside the appeal, Shola also provided proof of the staggering losses incurred by the young man.
"8M gone like that and it's not even his money. Y'all better slow down on this bet addiction," Shola caption reads.
According to the evidence shared by Shola, the man initially experienced a stroke of luck, managing to secure winnings amounting to N2.1 million.
However, his brief success didn't last long. His following bets led to continuous losses, eventually resulting in the complete depletion of the entire N8 million stake.
