A man identified as Peter Orji has allegedly murdered his elder brother, Godwin Orji, over N1500 electricity bill at Nnewi in Anambra State.
The State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Tochukwu Ikenga, confirmed the development and disclosed that Peter Orji and his wife were arrested by the Nigerian Police Force, NPF, on Tuesday.
Ikenga added that the State Police Commissioner, Echeng Echeng, has ordered for the transfer of the case to the State Criminal Investigation Department, CID, for proper investigation.
According to local sources, Peter’s refusal to pay N1500 electricity bill led to the disconnection of power supply to his flat. The action was carried out at the behest of his elder brother and ensued in an altercation between the duo. Peter then took a gun and fired at his brother which caused the later to die on the spot.
