A 24- year-old man, #Ebenezer Olorunleke, has been arrested who allegedly killed his brother with the help of three other accomplices in #Ekiti State.
Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr Asuquo Amba, said the suspect, who hails from Jege in Kogi State, killed his brother with a knife and screwdriver in Okeila area of Ado-Ekiti on August 29 and fled with the victim’s motorbike alongside other items.
Confessing to the crime, Olorunleke said that it was his friends that killed his brother, adding that all they wanted to do was to help him collect money from the victim because he was a stingy person.
He said, “I did not follow them inside the room but upon realising that my brother had been stabbed and was shouting, I rushed in and wanted to rescue him but he bit me and chopped off my finger.
The guys later came to my house to attack me. They wanted to sell the motorcycle but I resisted. I was thinking of going to the police to report when I was arrested with the motorcycle.”
