Lasisi engaged his brother in an argument over the deceased’s repeated act of owing debts.
Lasisi explained that he was angered by the persistent demands from his stepbrother’s creditors, who allegedly asked him to pay the deceased’s debts.
The argument was said to have degenerated when the deceased allegedly brought out a cutlass to attack the suspect.
In retaliation, the suspect claimed he brought out a gun but did not know when it accidentally discharged and hit his stepbrother, leading to the latter’s death.
Narrating what transpired between him and his deceased brother in an interrogation video shared by a Facebook user, Makinde Fasunle, on Monday, Lasisi explained that on the day of the incident, the victim had gone to the market with goods, and while he walked to the bus stop, one of the brother’s creditors approached him to report that the deceased had failed to pay his debt.
He noted that when his brother returned from the market, he approached him to discuss his recurring debts and how his actions were causing embarrassment to the family.
