Operatives of the Lagos State Police Command have intercepted ten bags of illicit drugs suspected to be Indian Hemp.
In a statement Police Public Relations Officer, Lagos State Command, Ikeja-Lagos, SP Benjamin Hundeyin said 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.
He said 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.
Hundeyin said while two occupants of the vehicle escaped, the driver, Amodu Agbaje, was apprehended.
He added that the arrested driver claimed he was offered N25,000 to convey the drugs with street value of N3,000,000.
The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, CP Abiodun Alabi, has directed the Commander RRS, CSP Olayinka Egbeyemi, to transfer the suspect and the exhibits to the Command Headquarters for further investigations.
