The State Police Command in Lagos on Monday arrested a mechanic, Nnime for allegedly stabbing his brother to death.
The 21-year-old man was arested by operatives attached to the Denton Police Division, Ebute Meta on September 7, following the death of John Okoh, 28.
Nnime allegedly stabbed the deceased in the neck with a broken bottle during a scuffle over N1,500 at their workplace along Sam Freeman Road.
It was learned that a customer had given Okoh N1,500 after working on his vehicle but the suspect wanted equal share from the sum.
Police spokesman Benjamin Hundeyin said Okoh was rushed to the Federal Medical Centre, Ebute Meta, for treatment but was confirmed dead by the doctor on duty.
