Narrating the sad incident, Barnabas wrote: ‘A drinking competition was held in my area yesterday, 4 bottles of gin and get 20k, the guy on his 4th one died on the spot.’

Meanwhile, a corpse of the herder whose name is revealed as Yau Ibrahim was discovered in the bush on Christmas Day by a group of police personnel deployed to the village by the police command.

Ibrahim is said to have gone out on the day to graze his cattle when he was killed by yet to be known assailants.
