According to sources, two of the suspected assassins, reports said, flew in from Abuja two days ago and lodged in an unnamed hotel in Ikeja. They were said to had mounted surveillance on the victims' residence at about 7.00 a.m. and were asking questions about his whereabouts when residents became suspicious.
They reportedly alerted Neighborhood Watch office nearby who confronted the suspected assailants and arrested them.
Sources said they were immediately handed over to the nearby Meiran police station where they admitted being hired by an unnamed staff of the company to assassinate the auditor.
The suspects, reports said, even admitted that the killing was to attract N5 million, stressing that N2 million had already been paid into their account and that the balance would have been paid if the deal was successfull.

"Three of them were arrested and handed over to us. The men are still with the Meiran police and preliminary investigations have been concluded. But I cannot say much now because the OC will talk to you people tomorrow (today) said the source.
