A young man simply identified as Kadir is on the run after he allegedly stabbed his younger brother, Suleiman, to death in Auchi, Etsako West Local Government Area of Edo State.
According to reports, Suleiman scolded Kadir’s wife on Friday for being rude to their mother, and Kadir, who was not at home when the altercation happened, confronted his younger brother for daring to rebuke his wife when he returned.
