A man identified as Ibrahim Dauda, has reportedly killed his brother, Tunde, during a fight over N1,000 at their residence on Amusa street, off Community Road, in the Obadore area of Igando, Lagos State.

According to Punch Metro, the brothers were at home when an argument involving N1,000 started between them.

The argument culminated in the brothers engaging in fisticuffs, during which Ibrahim ran into the house and reached for an iron rod.

Ibrahim allegedly hit Tunde’s forehead with the rod and the impact caused the 27-year-old to lose consciousness while he fell.
