The arrested brothers were said to have taken the boy to an uncompleted building, where they poisoned him to death.
The arrested brothers identified as Abdulrazak Waliu, 23 years, and Abdulrazak Illias, 18 years, were said to be in the process of kidnapping the twin brother of the deceased for ransom, but detected that one of the twins may know them.
