“They initially requested that payment would be made in a bank in Ikorodu, but on getting to the bank, the suspects moved the operators to an unknown destination and started demanding ransom from their friends and relatives.
“Despite paying N1. 6 million as ransom, their abductors refused to release them and nothing more was heard from them. The victim’s phones remained switched off.

“The Commissioner of Police Lagos State, Zubairu Muazu detailed the Commander, Special Anti Robbery Squad (SARS) to carry out an in-depth investigation into the matter with a view to rescuing the victims and apprehending the suspects. Operatives from SARS Ipakodo base, led by SP Godfrey Soriwei arrested three suspects: Oluwatosin Olanrewaju 40-years old, Mayowa Olawuni (a.k.a General ) and Babatunde Idris (a.k.a Aloma).

“The suspects confessed to have killed the other two rival cult members and dumped them in the septic tank before killing the two bureau de change operators. They are currently assisting the police in the arrest of the other fleeing members of the gang. “Investigation is ongoing, suspects will be charged to court as soon as investigation is completed.”

More than 18 months after the law came into effect, thousands continue to be targeted for exploitation, and the risk for Nigerian women seems to be increasing.
