taking insecticide following the alleged crash of Ponzi scheme, Mavrodi Mondial Moneybox, famously known as MMM.
The incident happened in Otukpo, Benue State, after promoters and participants were thrown into pandemonium on Tuesday following the news that the ponzi scheme has been frozen.
Reports had it that all confirmed accounts, as at early hours of Monday, were frozen.
Reports has it that Adakole, a native of
Ai Okpe in Okpokwu LGA whose wedding is slated for December 28 had earlier invested 300 thousand into the scheme last month and was expecting to get his 30 per cent income before
his wedding.
An eyewitness told reporters that when the news broke out Tuesday morning, Adakole, who was introduced into the business literally went mad.
“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.
“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,” he added. The Benue State Police Public Relations Officer, Moses Yamu, he said the incident is yet to be reported.
“We are yet to receive the report as we speak but I promise to get back to you as soon as I get the report,” he assured.
Meanwhile, the founders have announced that the scheme has not crashed as widely being speculated, adding that it was only in pause
mode. They called on investors not to panic as the scheme would return next year.
