It was reported that their father fainted on hearing of the incident and had to be revived by sympathisers who thronged the house on hearing of the unfortunate incident.
The Police Commissioner in the state, Umar Sanda, confirmed the incident while speaking to journalists at the NUJ Press Centre when he paid a familiarisation visit to the leadership of the NUJ.
The CP said that the young man allegedly stabbed his brother after a heated argument over a domestic issue.
The Police Commissioner added that full scale investigation has commenced on the incident after which the young man will be charged to court for prosecution.
