Police in Kitui are investigating the gruesome murder of a Form Two student by unknown assailants, days after he won a Sh200,000 lottery from sports betting firm Betika. The 17-year-old boy was found murdered and his body dumped in a thicket a few kilometres from his rural home in Maliku area in Katulani district. He had been missing for several days.

Syengo Nyamai of Mavindini Day Mixed Secondary School is said to have won the money two weeks ago when he gambled in the 2023 Carabao Cup final match pitting Manchester United and Newcastle United. The match was played on February 26 at the Wembley Stadium in London, UK.

According to his elder brother, Mr Munyithya Nyamai, Syengo had used a neighbour’s national identity card to register a Safaricom SIM card that he used to enrol for the lottery, but he did not tell his family he had won the Sh200,000.

Technically, the lottery people should be in court for allowing a minor to gamble.

gambling act is very lenient with the owners of capital most fines ni 5k. infact a 16 year old can gamble.

ni kama Sportpesa greatly influenced its drafting

The article says the minor used a neighbours ID to register his line which he used for betting. Are the lottery people required to summon those who want to place bets to their company headquarters for identification and authentication before they place bets?

True uncle Uwesmakende. Vijana wa high school are neck-deep into betting in fact they form syndicates and do it seriously on weekends. My nephew confided in me recently

Pole to the family; the so called friends probably gave him an early celestial farewell. People should know that in this world only trust yourself and God…when it comes to money even family will kill you …unless it’s necessary keep everything to yourself .

Considering his age, if he did win the money, he needed help from the sim card holder to collect the money, or withdraw it and therefore had to involve at least one other person. It was impossible for him to hide his winnings since alitumia ID ya wenyewe ku register sim.
