The Adamawa State Police Command has detained Amos Christopher, a man with epilepsy, for reportedly killing his four-year-old brother Thyson by hitting him.

On June 19, 2023, Amos, a 24-year-old resident of Dobi village in the Ga’anda District of the Gombi Local Government Area, is accused of committing the offense in one of the apartments in their house.

According to a statement by SP Suleiman Nguroje, the spokesperson for the Adamawa State Police, Amos strangled his younger brother before beheading and dismembering his body with a hoe.

The accused said to be suffering from epilepsy by family members, murdered his brother when his health condition deteriorated.

The father of the suspect, Christopher Haruna, who blamed the unfortunate incident on his son’s ill health, said, “A day before the incident on June 18, 2023, Amos had experienced a seizure and slumped. But his health condition further deteriorated with a complete change in his behavior the following morning, when he violently attacked his mother and younger brothers who were at home with him.”

Explaining further, he said Amos then took his brother, who was alone, and brutally murdered him.

“He grabbed the four years old boy and dragged him into a room, where he locked up the door from inside and beat him up to death. All efforts by his mother to rescue him were fruitless.

“He then carried the dead body outside, where he used the hoe in his possession and cut off the head as well as dismembered the body into two.”

While being interrogated by the command spokesperson, Suleiman Yahaya Nguroje, the suspect, who hardly speaks, denied killing anyone.

“I didn’t do anything; my younger brother is at home,” he simply told the police.

Haruna said he was away on his farm on the day of the incident, adding that he only returned home to find his deceased son in a pool of his own blood and his body dismembered.

The Federal High Court in Abuja has adjourned to December 10 for a ruling on the bail application by the immediate past Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, and two others.

Bello had pleaded not guilty to the 16-count charges brought against them by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

The former governor, along with Umar Oricha and Abdulsalami Hudu, are being prosecuted as the 1st to 3rd defendants, respectively, in a fresh N110bn 16-count charge instituted against them by the EFCC.

Bello, the 1st defendant, vehemently denied the allegations before Justice Maryanne Anenih as they were read out to them.

After taking their plea, the Defendant’s Counsel, Joseph Daudu, moved an application for bail.

However, the EFCC Counsel, Kemi Pinheiro, opposed the application, arguing that it had expired in October.

Clarifying the issue, the Defendant’s Counsel stated that the only relevant application before the Court was the motion for bail in respect of the first defendant, which was filed on November 22.

Relying on all the paragraphs of the affidavit, he added that the bail application was also supported with a written address.

Justice Anenih ordered that the defendants be remanded in the custody of the EFCC.

The EFCC had filed an N110bn alleged fraud suit against the former governor.

Wahab commended Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Lagos governor, for his leadership and continuous support.

“Proud of the work done here and to have been a part of this special one,” he added.
