He stated that in the process, he and his late brother were beaten to a pulp and that the latter passed out and eventually died. Continuing, Kingsley said, “My brother asked them to assemble his phone and give it to him. They didn’t answer him. I was the one that picked up the mobile telephone and put it the way it was.
