According to a source, the suspect and the deceased were living in the same compound, though their families were not on talking terms.
The source said on that fateful day, the siblings were fighting each other until the late Obadeke and Oyibo joined in the fray.
Oyibo then picked up a bottle, broke it and stabbed Obadeke,” the source added.
