A man in his 40s allegedly stripped naked and walked around in an Egyptian village to win a bet from a friend, Gulf News reported.


The villagers tried to cover him up but the man refused to get covered, leading people to question his mentality and motives.


โ€œChildren gathered around him as he walked naked across the village. People thought he had been caught doing something immoral and had not enough time to put on his clothes,โ€ Mohammed told Egyptian newspaper Al Watan.


โ€œThe scene was nauseating. He prevented anyone from covering him. He refused to put on any clothes,โ€ added the witness.


Later, he received 25,000 Egyptian pounds from a person who had earlier made a bet with him. โ€œHe then sat down while still naked in front of his house, counting the money,โ€ Mohammed said.

โ€œHe is not a poor person,โ€ Nabil Awwad, another local of the village, said. โ€œThe alleged offender owns a flock of sheep worth thousands of pounds,โ€ he told Egyptian news portal Masrawy.


โ€œWhat struck our attention was that whenever we tried to cover him with clothes, he took them off, insisting to continue walking naked,โ€ Awwad added.


The act forced the villageโ€™s shocked women to stay indoors, the portal said.
