The state Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Bala Elkana, who disclosed this, said late Musa and Umar plied their trade at Benson area in Ikorodu , and in the evening of March 14, 2019, some persons approached them on the grounds of selling the said sum to them.

The abductors, namely Oluwatosin Olanrewaju, Mayowa Olawunmi and Babatunde Idris later killed the said bureau de change operators and dumped their remains in septic tank.
