An unidentified man from the Bokkos local government area of Plateau state, has been reported dead after drinking nine bottles of locally brewed alcoholic drink, ‘Ogogoro’.

According to reports, the man bragged about finishing the drink without embarrassing himself, as he ordered 11 bottles from the seller.
