A 20 year old man,Halifax Hamza has allegedly stabbed his elder brother,Usman Hamza to death with scissors in Kano state.
After a fight between the siblings, the incident allegedly happened on Sunday, April 2, 2023.
The younger brother wearing his older brother’s shirt and pants, according to their father Alhaji Hamza, was the true cause of their argument rather than a cat as was rumored, he claimed in an interview with Freedom Radio.
He said,
“The older sibling who was killed, Usman, picked up my motorcycle to go tell his friends that we had organized Iftar so that they could come and eat.
When he returned, he noticed his brother was wearing 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 out a pair of scissors and stabbed the older brother on his chest and he died instantly”.
A friend of Halifa, who begged to remain anonymous claimed that he fled from 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.
