A man, Ibrahim Dauda, has allegedly killed his brother, Tunde, during a fight over #1,000 at their residence on Amusa Street, off Community Road, in the Obadore area of Igando, in the Igando-Ikotun LCDA of Alimosho LGA.

According to media reports, Ibrahim and Tunde were at home on Sunday, January 29, 2023, when an argument bordering on #1,000 ensued between them; the argument degenerated and the brothers were said to be engaging in fisticuffs when Ibrahim ran into the house and reached for an iron rod.
