A Nigerian man is on the run after shooting dead his younger brother while testing a newly bought “bullet-proof” charm on him, police say.
Abubakar Abubakar shot at his younger brother Yusuf Abubakar,12, using their father’s rifle after they had both “fortified themselves with the protective charm”, according to police in the country’s western Kwara state.
The younger brother both sons to a hunter, is said to have died on the spot while Mr. Abubakar escaped into the bushes immediately after the incident.
