He further said the matter had been reported to the appropriate authorities while his brother’s remains had been buried according to Islamic rites.
Another resident of the area, Abdullahi Suleiman, Kazeem had threatened severally to deal with his father as he was not comfortable with his marriage to a second wife.
“Each he made such threats, we used to laugh over it, thinking it was just a threat that he could not act on. We used to tease him that he had a new mother and he would just get angry.
“We never knew he could act on those things he was saying. We know him to be temperamental, but violence is not part of what he was known for. It is sad what has happened,” said Abdullahi.
Meanwhile, the police in the area declined any comment on the incident.
Efforts to reach the Niger State Police Command’s Public Relations Officer, Wasiu Abiodun were unsuccessful as his mobile phone numbers were not reachable.
