Authorities discovered that three accounts were being used temporarily to funnel money to the bandits in the forest, prompting intervention from the Central Bank of Nigeria and anti-corruption agencies regarding these accounts.
Furthermore, military personnel tracked down a university student named Adeleye, who was caught with a victim’s phone. The ransom emails sent to the victim’s family were linked directly to his device.
