A man who became famous in Kakamega after winning a Ksh 2.4 million SportPesa bonus has mysteriously gone missing after attending his grandmother’s burial dressed in full military combat gear to show the village that life had changed for him. The young man shocked mourners with his flashy entrance, expensive convoy and bodyguard-like appearance as he tried to prove he had finally made it in life. Days later, he disappeared without a trace. Neighbors now have different stories. Some believe he is hiding from the DCI after questions were raised about his sudden lifestyle. Others say he switched off his phones and disappeared because too many people were demanding money from him after the big win. The drama became worse after reports emerged that he reunited with his childhood lover and abandoned his beautiful wife and children after getting the money. Before disappearing, he allegedly leaked to one of his close friends the betting site where he gets his daily predictions from, claiming that is where his lucky numbers came from. Now the village is left with rumors, confusion and endless questions about where he could be hiding.
