Abubakar Abubakar, a hunter’s son in Kwara State, killed his younger brother Yusuf Abubakar while testing the effectiveness of a bulletproof charm purchased by their father.
The incident occurred on Sunday, October 2nd, 2022, in Dutse Gogo town in Kaiama, the administrative center of the Kaiama local government area in Kwara.
The hunter had recently acquired the “protective” charm and he wanted to test the charm on his sons before using it.
According to sources, the younger child, Yusuf, was fortified with the protective charm while the eldest was armed with a loaded Dane gun, with which he fired the fatal shot.
By the time they realised that the charm failed, 12-year-old Yusuf had hit the ground.
After realizing that the charm had failed and his younger brother was dead, Abubakar, the elder brother who took the shot, reportedly fled into the bush.
SP Ajayi Okasanmi, the State Police Public Relations Officer, who confirmed the event in a statement on Monday, said the police have started an investigation and launched a manhunt for the older brother who fired the gun.
