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.
