A 30-year-old man, Isyaku Babale, 30, of Anguwan Dawaki in Bauchi Metropolis, has been arrested by the Bauchi State Police Command for allegedly stabbing his brother to death.
The arrest was confirmed by the spokesperson for the command, SP Ahmed Wakil, in a statement on Sunday in Bauchi.
According to him, the Divisional Police Officer, Township Police Station, Bauchi, received a report about the incident and detectives from the division were drafted to the scene immediately.
“They rushed the victim to Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Teaching Hospital but he was certified dead by a medical doctor.
“The development prompted the detectives to initiate a manhunt for the suspect, who was apprehended near Kasuwan Shanu area of Bauchi metropolis.
“Preliminary investigations conducted by the detectives revealed that the suspect used a knife and stabbed his elder brother on March 31, 2024, at about 0400hrs after an argument between them,” he said
Wakil added that the altercation started when the younger brother (suspect) asked his elder brother (victim) to stop taking cold patch liquid, popularly known as ‘Sholi’, in their room because of the unpleasant odour of the liquid.
“Both of them became furious with each other and began fighting. Shortly after mediation, the suspect ran and picked a sharp object, suspected to be a knife, and stabbed the victim in the stomach.
“Further investigations revealed that both men were always fighting using dangerous weapons,” he said.
