Man dropped his elder brother because of torchlight in Lagos

A man identified as Remi Adelaja is on the run after he allegedly killed his elder brother, Mayowa Adelaja, during an argument over torchlight at their home at Adelaja Street, off Afariogun, Oshodi in Lagos today May 8th. According to The Nation , the incident transpired at about 2am.

A denizen of the area who verbalized on condition of anonymity, verbally expressed the deceased was probing for the torchlight and asked his younger brother if he had visually perceived it but Remi claimed he didn’t ken where it was.. “Their mother, Mrs. Adelaja is a bread seller. The suspect brought his five children to his father’s house after he lost his wife and since then, they have been cohering. Albeit, the deceased has been repining about it. But last night, the deceased was probing for torchlight and asked his younger brother who verbally expressed he was thoroughly oblivious to it.

The issue later resulted to a quarrel because the two of them have been having quandaries. The next thing they commenced fighting. The elder brother used iron rod to hit the younger one twice but the suspect ran inside, brought a knife and stabbed his older brother on the stomach. That was how he fell down and died on the spot. Everyone ran only his mother was left. Then, Mayowa’s canines circumvented him on the ground. The police came around 2am,” verbally expressed the source.
