A family dispute turned deadly in Zaria City, Kaduna State, where 50-year-old Sani Yusuf died days after being brutally attacked by his elder brother, Abubakar Aminu, 53.
The altercation reportedly happened on April 4, 2025, at their shared residence in the Rimintsiwa area.
According to security analyst Zagazola Makama, Sani sustained serious injuries and was immediately taken to Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital (ABUTH), Shika, for emergency care.
Unfortunately, despite receiving medical attention, Sani’s condition declined and he was pronounced dead in the early hours of April 10.
Local customs were observed in burying the deceased shortly after his passing.
Police say the suspect fled the area following the incident and is currently at large.
A manhunt is underway, with the case now being treated as culpable homicide as investigations continue into the motive behind the deadly confrontation.
