The Abia Police Command says it has arrested two suspects in connection with the alleged murder of two brothers, Bright and Victory Osuagwu, in Osisioma, near Aba.
The command’s Spokesman, SP Geoffrey Ogbonna, confirmed the arrest to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Thursday.
NAN recalls that Bright and Victor, aged nine and seven, were allegedly strangled to death in their house in Osisioma on Good Friday, while their parents, Mr Chima Osuagwu and wife, were away.
Ogbonna said the principal suspect, Chukwuebuka Nnamani, was arrested with the help of his alleged accomplice, one Amanna, who was caught by people in the neighbourhood, while attempting to burgle the house of the deceased’s parents.
