  However, an eye witness, who simply gave his name as Mojeed, said “the quarrel between late Mayowa and his brother Aderemi started, when the latter with his five children, moved into their parents’ house, after losing his wife. Aderemi and his children were staying with their mother in her one room apartment. Mayowa was always angry that their mother was assisting Aderemi and his children instead of him (Aderemi) providing for their mother. "On his part, Aderemi was not happy with his eldest brother’s life style. He sees him as a tout, accused him of stealing his things. We have settled several quarrels between them. Perhaps, if this fight had occurred in the day time, no death would have been recorded because people would have taken the weapons from them.” Confirming the incident, spokesperson for the Lagos State Police Command, Dolapo Badmus said the alleged assailant was still on the run, adding that the case had been transferred to the Homicide section of the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department , SCIID
