Two brothers, another arrested over SMS threat

Operatives at the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS Ikeja Lagos,  have arrested two brothers and their friend for sending a threat message to a proprietress of a school in Igando area of Lagos, pretending to have been hired to kill her.
Their journey to the SARS cell began last month after the  proprietress (names withheld) received  a call and was told by the caller that his gang had been paid to eliminate her. Immediately the 65-year-old proprietress was shocked, wondering why anyone could be after her life. Before she could recover from the shock, the line went dead.
Two days later, Crime Guard gathered that  the strange caller dialed the proprietress number again, requesting for  N150,000 if she wanted her life spared. Calling their bluff, the sexagenarian went about her normal business, only to be thrown off guard when a  warning letter  was pasted at the school gate given her a deadline for the payment.
