Abdullah, 17, one of twin boys, had gone missing on April 14 after leaving his home in Abu Shagara at 4.15pm to fetch a carpenter from the nearby furniture market for repairs. Despite extensive search efforts, including filing a missing person's report, Abdullah's whereabouts remained unknown until today.
