Two blood brothers have been arrested for burying two men alive after accusing them of stealing.
A typical burial pit
It was gathered that the victims, Igbekele Orisabinole and Ogbaro Erinbo, were accused of stealing the money by the brothers' mother who informed her sons and they tortured the two suspects for several hours but when they maintained their innocence, Alaleran and Enikuomehin took them to a bush where they dug a pit, pushed Orisabinole and Erinbo into the pit and covered it up to their necks.
