In a heartbreaking turn of events, the Kpaguri neighborhood in Wa was shaken early this morning by the alleged killing of 24-year-old plumber Fatawu Ahmed, reportedly at the hands of his younger brother, Mawaz Ahmed.
The shocking incident has left the family and entire community grieving, as neighbors grapple with the tragic loss of a young man well-known for his commitment to family and hard work.
Described by friends and family as a lively and hardworking individual, Fatawu was a plumber who dedicated himself to his trade with the goal of providing a stable future for his loved ones. His commitment to supporting his family was evident in the way he shouldered responsibilities, proudly sharing his dream of a better life for himself and his siblings.
Neighbors remember him as a friendly, optimistic young man who brought positive energy wherever he went. Fatawu’s devotion to his family had earned him a special place in the hearts of the community, making the news of his untimely death even harder to bear.
In the early hours of today, Fatawu’s life was reportedly cut short during an argument with his younger brother, Mawaz, a mason by trade. According to preliminary accounts, what began as a disagreement between the two brothers tragically escalated.
Fatawu was allegedly struck on the head with a cement block and sustained multiple knife wounds in the altercation. Despite neighbors’ attempts to intervene, Fatawu did not survive the injuries, leaving family and friends in shock.
Though Mawaz and Fatawu were known to be close, recent reports suggest that tensions had been rising between them. The reasons for these disputes remain unclear, though those close to the family say that the two brothers had been struggling with unresolved issues in recent weeks.
Mawaz, who is now in police custody, is said to be cooperating with officials as they investigate the circumstances that led to this tragic incident.

The Ahmed family has begun preparing for Fatawu’s funeral amidst immense grief and disbelief, as they come to terms with the sudden loss. The family has requested privacy during this time as they navigate both the pain of Fatawu’s death and the complexities of a police investigation.
Mawaz remains in police custody as local authorities work to uncover the details behind this devastating incident.
