Squire and three others were kidnapped on October 13, 2017.
While others were freed, Squire was killed.
National Daily learnt that two of the gang members were first arrested by the operatives of the IRT, led by Assistant Commissioner of Police Abba Kyari, in Warri, Delta State.
They then volunteered to lead the police to Sapele, also in Delta State, where the other members of the gang were hidding.
