Operatives of the Lagos State Police Command have intercepted ten bags of illicit drugs suspected to be Indian Hemp.

The drugs, packed in ten sacks, were being conveyed in a Lagos colour commercial bus with registration number LND 995 XT from Iddo to a destination in Mushin.

According to Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, luck, however, ran out on the suspects when vigilant Rapid Response Squad (RRS) operatives on routine patrol stopped the bus at about 0400hrs on April 29, 2022 at Stadium Bus Stop, Surulere.

He said while two occupants of the vehicle escaped, the driver, Amodu Agbaje, was apprehended, saying the arrested driver claimed he was offered Twenty-Five Thousand Naira to convey the drugs with street value of Three Million Naira.

Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Alabi, directed the Commander RRS, CSP Olayinka Egbeyemi, to transfer the suspect and the exhibits to the Command Headquarters for further investigations.
