Man Machetes Brother To Death Over Alleged Sexual Demand

A suspect identified as Ibrahim Salisu has been taken into custody by the Ogun State Police Command for allegedly macheting his brother, Malaimi Yellow, to death over alleged sexual demand.

It was learnt from the state command that the incident happened in the Araromi Street, Sango-Ota area at about 11:00 p.m. on Friday.

It was learnt from the police that the 54-year-old had been allegedly pestering his little brother for sex.

The police alleged that following Yellow’s ceaseless demands, the younger brother was said to have drawn out a machete to end his life.

The spokesperson for the command, Odutola Omolola, said that the corpse of Yellow had been recovered and deposited at the Ifo General Hospital Mortuary for autopsy.

“He has confessed to the crime. He told our men, who arrested him, that he killed his brother because he kept disturbing him for sex. His case will soon be transferred once the preliminary investigation is completed,” Odutola stated.

According to crime statistics for December 2023, before this current incident, the state had recorded about 18 murder cases and an additional eight sexual-related offenses across the state in the month alone.
