Police in the Federal Capital Territory have arrested two men following the death of a 17-year-old boy in Byazhin, Abuja.
According to the FCT Police Command, the teenager, Chidera Benjamin, allegedly attacked his mother with a machete during a domestic dispute on February 12 around 11:45 PM.
Neighbours Cosmos Okafor, 31, and Okechukwu Wisdom, 17, reportedly intervened and in the process inflicted injuries on Chidera. He was rushed to Kubwa General Hospital but was later pronounced dead.
Investigations revealed the dispute began over alleged unauthorized transfers from the mother’s bank account to Chidera’s Opay account.
The FCT Commissioner of Police, CP Miller G. Dantawaye, has urged residents to resolve conflicts peacefully and avoid taking the law into their own hands.
The suspects remain in police custody and will be charged to court following the completion of investigations.
