Unbelievable!!! A man killing his brother over torchlight in Lagos

The man is identified as Remi Adelaja and he's 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 happened
at about 2am.
A resident of the area who spoke on condition
of anonymity, said the deceased was looking for
the torchlight and asked his younger brother if
he had seen it but Remi claimed he didn't know
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 staying together. Although, the
deceased has been complaining about it.
But last night, the deceased was looking
for torchlight and asked his younger
brother who said he knew nothing about
it. The issue later resulted to a quarrel
because the two of them have been
having problems. The next thing they
started 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 dogs
surrounded him on the ground. The police
came around 2am,” said the source.
