Luck however, ran out on him as inquisitive neighbours discovered the shallow grave and rescued the victim whose face and body were bruised and swollen following the bizarre incident.

The incident has been confirmed by the state police command via its spokesperson, William Aya. Aya, who said the suspect has been arrested, added that investigation has commenced to unravel circumstances surrounding the bizarre incident.
“The boy has been arrested. Investigation is ongoing to ascertain how such could have happened. The eldest Oshodi dug a pit and buried his brother alive. The victim has since been rescued by neighbours while the suspect has been taken into custody,” the PPRO said.
