They were taken into custody by EFCC agents during sting operations in several locations in Lagos between May 10 and May 13, 2024, as a result of reliable information the commission had obtained regarding their illegal business dealings.
Kafayat Lateef, a suspected currency racketeer, was also taken into custody due to his claimed participation in the sale of various denominations of naira notes.
