In an act that looks like a
scene from a horror movie, a boy in Daya Village, Fika Local Government Area of
Yobe State, on Monday, killed his younger brother and removed his eyes and
tongue.
According to a PREMIUM TIMES report, the younger brother had gone missing for
three days and following a search mission in the village, the older brother was
found to be in possession of a tongue and eyes, which turned out to be the
victim’s.
Both
the alleged killer and his victim are believed to be minors.
A
resident of Daya, Ishmail Daya was quoted as saying: “He killed his younger
brother and buried him on his father’s farmland”.
According
to Ishmail, there had been no prior quarrel between the siblings until the ugly
incident took place.
“There
was no fight, he just killed his brother. Though investigation is still going
on, but there was no fight”, he said.
The
district head and Galadima of Fika, Fika LGA, Garba Daya, confirmed the
incident.
“Yes,
it actually happened in Daya”, he said, adding that the killer was currently
cooling his heels in police custody.
The
Yobe State Police Command could not be reached for comment on the incident as
the police commissioner, Sanusi Rufai, was unavailable.
