The brothers were charged to court by the police following a petition written by Mallam Rafiu Ajakaye, the Chief Press Secretary to the State governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq.

Ajakaye, in the statement, accused the brothers of defamation and inciting the public against the government.

The court has fixed December 7 for continuation of trial.
