The Lagos State Police command has arrested one Chukwuma Njoku, for allegedly stabbing his brother, identified as Uchenna Njoku to death.
\nThe brothers engaged in an argument over N3,000 debt at the deceased\u2019s residence in the Odokekere area of Ikorodu North Local Council Development Area of Lagos State, which resulted into a fight.
\nIt was learnt that Chukwu during a visit to his brother\u2019s place asked him to pay the N3,000 he owed him.
\nHowever, this degenerated into an argument and later into a serious fight.
\nBefore neighbours could settle the fight, Chukwuma brought out a knife and allegedly stabbed his brother in the stomach which led to his death.
\nConfirming the incident, spokesperson of the state police command, Muyiwa Adejobi, said the suspect has been arrested.
\n\u201cThe suspect will be taken to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, Panti, Yaba, after ongoing investigation,\u201d he said.
