Police detain man over younger brother’s death in Lagos

The Lagos State Police Command has detained a man for allegedly pushing his 47-year-old younger brother to death.
The command’s spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed this to journalists on Saturday.
Mr Hundeyin said the case was reported to the police on August 24 at about 6:40 a.m. by a fellow whose name was not mentioned.
He said the fellow reported that on August 23, at about 11:00 p.m., one Ayodeji Busari of the Iba area in Lagos allegedly pushed his younger brother, 47, whose name was not also mentioned.
The police spokesman said the younger reportedly came from Port Harcourt to visit his friend at an address not mentioned in Lagos.
Mr Hundeyin said the suspect allegedly pushed his younger brother down, and he hit his head on a pavement during a fight.
“The victim became unconscious and was rushed to the Igando General Hospital for treatment but was later confirmed dead by the doctor on duty.
“The detectives visited the scene of the incident and took photographs; the corpse was removed and deposited at Mainland General Hospital Mortuary, Yaba, for autopsy.
“The case file and suspect will be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti-Yaba, for investigation,” he said.
