Teenager killed brother over short pants in Bauchi: Police
The Police Command in Bauchi has arrested an 18-year-old boy, Abdurahman Sulaiman, for allegedly stabbing his elder brother to death over a pair of short pants.
Mr Sulaiman allegedly stabbed his brother in a fight, resulting from a heated argument at the games village area of Bauchi metropolis.
The Commissioner of Police in the state, Umar Sanda, who confirmed the incident to journalists on Saturday said the short pants allegedly belonged to the suspect’s elder brother.
He said the argument began when the elder brother asked Mr Sulaiman to remove the pants he wore.
The commissioner said the suspect was currently in their custody and would be charged to court after investigation.
A witness, Abdullahi Aminu, said “The younger brother used a broken glass to stab his elder brother in the stomach, which led to his death.”
Uncle to the brothers, Garba Kariya, described the matter as “an unfortunate incident between the siblings.”
