A
teenager, who deals in clothing at the popular Onitsha market, has reportedly
run mad after he allegedly swindled an Asaba based evangelist, simply
identified as Mr. Uzor. (surname withheld).
The boy (names withheld) was said to have sold two red pieces of
male underwear (commonly called boxers) to Uzor who is also believed to be a
personal driver to a Japanese expatriate working with a multinational
construction company in Nigeria.
Uzor was said to have taken his boss to the Onitsha market axis
where he saw the teenager who engages in mobile retailing (hawking). Sources
narrated that he (Uzor) picked the two pieces of red shorts worth N250 each and
he was said to have paid the seller a total N500.
Upon collection, the teenager was said to have demanded another
pay, insisting that he had received no dime form the evangelist. Amazed at
boy’s claim, the evangelist reportedly made several attempts to explain how he
had paid the teenager, but his efforts yielded no success. This, according to
sources, was in spite of the fact that a N500 note that matched his (Uzor’s)
exact description was found in the boy’s pocket.
In frustration, the evangelist reportedly gave out the last N500
in his pocket to the boy, but added another N30 to it, thereby making him
penniless at that moment. He was said to have intoned some inaudible statements
after which he said in “Jesus name, amen”.
Few hours after the evangelist left Asaba, sources said the
teenager became restless and could not continue with his business. He was said
to have returned home without telling his colleagues the reason behind his
early retirement for the day.
On getting home, he reportedly undressed, started screaming and
danced around the neighborhood playfully. The unusual act was said to have
attracted his neighbours’ attention.
