20-year-old man reportedly st@bs his elder brother to de@th over shirt and trouser in Kano.
A 20-year-old man, Halifa Hamza, stabbed his elder brother, Usman Hamza, to death with a pair of scissors in Kurna community in Dala Local Government Area of Kano State.
The tragic incident reportedly occurred on Sunday, April 2, 2023, after an argument erupted between the brothers.
Speaking with Freedom Radio, their father, Alhaji Hamza, said they fought as a result of the younger brother wearing the shirt and trousers of his elder brother.
Alhaji Hamza explained that, “The elder brother that was killed (Usman) collected my motorcycle to go and inform his friends that we had organised Iftar for people so that they could come and eat.”
“When he came back, he saw his younger brother with his shirt and trousers. He then asked why he did that, and from there a fight started. The younger one entered the house and brought a pair of scissors and stabbed the older brother on his chest and he died there.”
A friend of Halifa, who begged to remain anonymous, claimed that he fled the house as soon as the incident took place.
An investigation is underway, according to SP Abdullahi Haruna Kiyawa, spokesman for the state police command, who verified the event to Daily Trust on Wednesday.
