A man identified as Amos Christopher is now cooling-off in one of the police cells in Adamawa State for allegedly beating his younger brother to death and cutting off his head.
The police said that 24-year-old Amos beat up his youngest sibling called Thyson, four years old until he died before he went on to cut his head.
Amos, who is of Dobi village in Ga’anda District, Gombi LGA, is said to be suffering from epilepsy, but it is unclear how the condition may have influenced his action.
Sources said on Tuesday, 20 June, 2023 that Amos committed the heinous act on Monday, 19 June, 2023 “when his health condition became worse.”
“Amos had a seizure outside and slumped on Sunday, 18 June, 2023, and was brought back home by neighbours.
“His health condition deteriorated with a complete change in his behaviour the following morning when he violently attacked his mother and younger brothers who were at home with him,” a source, who spoke on the matter, said.
