The Nigerian police have apprehended one of two brothers accused of fatally k+lling their father in Adamawa State, SaharaReporters reports.
The arrested suspect has been identified as 25-year-old David ThankGod, while his younger brother, 23-year-old Joshua ThankGod, remains at large.
Adamawa State Police Command spokesperson, SP Suleiman Nguroje, told SaharaReporters on Thursday that David was arrested outside the state. “He was picked up in Jalingo, the Taraba State capital,” Nguroje said, adding that efforts are ongoing to apprehend Joshua.
The shocking incident occurred in the early hours of January 3 in Numan town, when residents were plunged into mourning after the two brothers allegedly str+ngled their father, Ogar ThankGod, a prominent local businessman, at his home in the Gwe-da-Mallam area.
Investigations revealed that the siblings had been called back from Lagos by their sister to help resolve a long-standing family dispute that had already involved the police. “The matter was already a police case before this unfortunate incident,” SP Nguroje noted.
The k+lling has left the community in disbelief, with many describing it as one of the most disturbing family tragedies in recent memory. Police confirmed that investigations are ongoing and vowed to bring the remaining suspect to justice.
