A 100-level student of the Federal University of Petroleum Resources Effurun (FUPRE) in Delta State has reportedly di£d after allegedly being st@bbed multiple times by his elder brother during a dispute at the institution’s Hostel .
The tragic incident occurred on Tuesday evening following a minor argument between the siblings that reportedly started over a pair of bathroom slippers.

The victim sustained severe injvries and was said to have crawled to another area of the hostel, where fellow students discovered him and raised the alarm.
