HORRIBLE: Brothers Kill Brother Over Their Father’s House [Graphic Photos]

Three brothers in Satellite Town, Fatia, Sakiru and Tunji Osun, have killed their brother, Yusuf, over the house that
their father left when he died. According to witnesses, their father willed the house to Yusuf, who wasn’t the eldest, but the eldest, Fatia decided to sell the house for N15m, take N10m and give his brothers N5m to share. Yusuf did not
agree, and the rest, is history.
TelegraphNG reports
Three brothers have been arrested by the police in connection with the murder of their blood brother. Fatia Osun (31), Sakiru Osun (20) and their step-brother,
Tunji (34), were accused of killing Yusuf Osun (27) over N15 million which was to be realized from the sale of a house left behind by their late father. The incident occurred in the early hours of Thursday,
Feb. 27, at Kano street in Mobile Estate, Satellite Town, Lagos and left residents of the estate and its environs jittery.
Fatia Osun, who is a Muslim cleric and is popularly known and referred to as an “Alfa”, is alleged to have connived
with his younger brother Sakiru, to kill Yusuf so that they would share the entire amount. The late Yusuf Osun was
strangled with a 2.5mm wire by Fatia while his other brothers stabbed him.
After the murder, the half brother of the perpetrators and the deceased, Tunji, sent a text message to a neighbour, tellinghim that Yusuf had passed away. He informed the neighbour that Yusuf had gotten drunk, slipped in the bathroom and hit his head. However, his story was suspect because Yusuf was a
known teetotaller, and suspicious neighbours came to the house and found Yusuf’s body with all the wounds. They alleged that Tunji assisted his brothers in moving Yusuf’s body to the bathroom and cleaning out the sitting room, where the incident had occurred.
At this point, the crowd turned into a mob, and beat up the brothers before informing the police who promptly arrested the brothers. The genesis
According to neighbours, their late father had willed the house to Yusuf because of long lasting disagreements that he had with Fatia, the eldest over his lifestyle. But, said neighbours also claimed that the men’s father failed to
leave a written will behind. After the death of their parents, Alfa proposed the sale of the house to his brothers but the late Yusuf objected to the sale of the property which was valued at
N 15 million. Yusuf instead suggested that they rent the house out and move to the boys-quarters because to him,
the house was their only hope for long term survival. His refusal led to a disagreement between with his brothers,
which resulted in a bloody fight. It was alleged that in that fighting, his brother, Fatia, stabbed him six times. Yusuf
however survived this fight and was admitted to hospital where he recovered after spending almost 3 weeks.
Upon his release from the hospital, Yusuf apparently accepted to sell the house and divide the money as his
brothers wanted, so the house was put up for sale. Eventually, a buyer showed interest and offered N 15 million.
Upon reaching an agreement with the prospective buyer, the eldest, Fatia, informed his brothers that he was entitled to N 10 million of the money, while they would have to make do
with N 5 million amongst themselves.
The neighbours said that Yusuf had the previous night asked people to lend him N 1,000 to go out since he wasn’t
comfortable sleeping in their home.
Neighbours react When a TelegraphNG correspondent visited the neighbourhood, the residents were all still in shock. A neighbour who pleaded anonymity, said he was surprised that Alfa could carry out such a dastardly act adding that she never imagined that such a thing will happen in their estate.
“That means, his going to mosque and the whole Alfa thing is all camouflage, we all need to be wary about people
around us, how can someone be so inhuman and callous to kill another person not to talk of killing his own brother over worldly things”.
A neighbour, Yinka Adewale, said one of the accused and the most senior (Fatia) was also responsible for the death of
their late father. “His plan was to sell the house long time ago, the death of his brother is not surprising to me because his father died mysteriously, so did his mother. He was taking out all those
that seemed like a stumbling block to him,” Yinka said. “Something of this nature has never happened nor heard of
within this vicinity, Mobile Estate is a peace place to live. Its a sad event, I don’t even want to talk about it again. Its
just so painful” another resident lament.
Confession
During interrogation, Sakiru, one of the accused who is also the youngest in the family, said his elder brother promised
to send him abroad so he can have a good life if he took part in eliminating their brother, Yusuf. Investigations are currently ongoing at the Area E command
Police station, Lagos and will be transferred to the Panti police station Yaba for further investigation.
