A car that was buried with two bankers and their driver inside has been discovered at Tudun Adabu in Obi Local Government in Nasarawa state.

The murdered bankers are Alhaji Hassan Gidado, the managing director of the Police Microfinance Bank, and Mr. Tunde Banwo.

The two top bankers, who  are Abuja residents, were in Lafia for the wedding of a child of the police commissioner-in-charge of Cooperative.
