Three persons linked to the killing of Nofisat Adetutu Ibrahim, a member of staff of First bank Plc in charge of Point of Sales (POS) in Akure, Ondo State have reportedly been arrested.
The trio whose identities have not been revealed was nabbed by officers of the Ondo State Police penultimate weekend.
