Ibrahim Salisu has been apprehended by the Ogun State Police Command for the alleged murder of his brother, Malaimi Yellow, following an alleged sexual demand.
The incident took place at 11:00 p.m. on Friday on Araromi Street in the Sango-Ota neighborhood.
Authorities state that the 54-year-old had persistently pestered his younger brother for sex, leading the younger brother to resort to using a machete to end his life.
The spokesperson for the command, Odutola Omolola, confirmed that Yellow’s body has been recovered and taken to the Ifo General Hospital Mortuary for further examination.
Salisu has confessed to the crime, stating that he killed his brother due to his incessant sexual advances.
The police are currently conducting a preliminary investigation and will transfer the case accordingly. In December 2023, prior to this incident, the state had already recorded 18 murder cases and eight sexual-related offenses, prompting the police to collaborate with local security agencies to combat the rising crime rate.
