Jealous brother hacks sibling to death

Late Olawale and his Brother Biodun
Policemen attached to Ilemba Hausa division have arrested a 30-year-old man who allegedly stabbed his brother, a Merchant Navy  to death while he was asleep.
After allegedly committing the devilish deed, the suspect, Allen Biodun, 30,  reportedly dragged the remains of his brother, Allen Olawale Ayetimi,24,toan uncompleted building behind their compound and dumped it
inside  the foundation of the building,covered it with leaves.Thereafter he quietly went to his room and  took his late brother’s ATM card, his Merchant navy uniform and phone.
The deceased only returned from an official trip to  Port Harcourt at about 11pm Tuesday. Although, the late Olawale was based in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. But his mission to his family’s house as reliably gathered, was to settle a score between his elder brother and  mother.
Neighbours  who referred to Biodun as a terror in the area, alleged that he was  also responsible for the death of his father  two years ago. He was alleged to have poisoned his father’s food in order to take over  his three-bedroom bungalow as inheritance.
After his father’s death, Biodun reportedly chased his mother and siblings out of the main building,giving  them the two shops in front o f the house.
The  death of their father as gathered, saddled Olawale with the responsibility of catering for members of his family, since he was the only one who was working  among them. Unknown to him, his good will did not go down well with his elder brother, who on the other hand, reportedly  resorted to buglary and bullying as a means of survival.
At other times, Biodun reportedly did  menial jobs. But the fear of Biodun in the environment was the beginning of wisdom.
“After the death of his father,  he took to burglary. Everybody is afraid of him in the street. The only thing people did was to close their doors or even enter their rooms whenever they see him coming. Even if you see him stealing your property, you have no option than to beg him to return them  because if you shout at him, he will beat you and nobody will come to your rescue”, a resident said,
Journey to death
On arrival from Port Harcourt that fateful day, Olawale reportedly washed his uniform, took his bath  and shared a brief moment with his mother and siblings in the shop they were confined to,during which he informed them that his mission home was to convince his brother to accept them back  into the main building,unaware that he would never live to see his mission accomplished. Before retiring to his bedroom which he shared with his elder brother, Olawale  was said to have instructed one of his sisters to boil water for him to bath the next morning.
But apprehension set in at about 7am Wednesday, after his sister went to inform him that the hot water was ready, only to discover his blood stained clothes on the floor,without any sight of him. As she was about to leave the room, she reportedly met Biodun, who informed her that Olawale had gone to the bank. Unsure of what to do, his sister, reportedly  alerted her mother who raised an alarm that created a scene in front of the building.
At that moment, a  neighbour identified as Mr  Sunday Abogunrin, disclosed to the gathering that  he saw  Biodun hours back,  dragging something  on the ground. Their greatest fear was confirmed when Biodun bolted  at the verge of being questioned about the whereabouts of his younger brother. Noone,could at first run after him, apparently unsure of what he could be up to. It only took the efforts of a man among the crowd to catch him. After much persuation, Biodun reportedly took the crowd to where he laid the remains of his younger brother. On closer look, a deep cut,  was discovered in the late Olawale’s neck and forehead.
It was gathered that Biodun’s mother and siblings were currently not only devastated by the tragic incident but were also afraid Biodun could carry out a more dastardly act if let off the hook.
He was however, handed over to the traditional ruler of the  community, who thereafter, invited the PoliceCulled from Vanguard.
