“His prolonged absence became suspicious. I tried calling some of our relatives to find out if he had gone there without success. Attempts by his younger brother and other friends to look for him were also in vain.
“It was not until yesterday morning when his brother who was preparing to go to school went to their uncle’s unfinished house to change clothes that he discovered his brother’s body.”
