A bus load of illicit drugs were intercepted at the Mile 2 area of Lagos on Sunday, April 3, 2022 by the Operatives of the Rapid Response Squad, RRS.
Preliminary investigations reveal that the drugs which were loaded in a Lagos colour LT bus, with the registration number AGL 205 YD belonged to one Alhaji, better known as General in Mushin.
The drugs according to a member of the drug syndicate said that they picked up the consignment, which has a street value of about N10,000,000.00, at Alaba Rago around 2200 hours yesterday for shipment to Mushin.
According to the Lagos Police Command Spokesperson, Benjamin Hundeyin, the RRS officials on patrol stopped the bus on a routine check at about 0400 hours today.
Another member of the syndicate, Oluwole Omojuyitan aged 40 who had initially escaped the scene on bike was arrested by the operatives after he came back with a sum of N500,000.00 to bribe the officers to release the drugs and suspects.
Other arrested members of the gang include Ojukwu Omanogho aged 36 and Hope Jumbo aged 40.
The Commissioner of Police, CP Abiodun Alabi, while commending the Commander RRS, CSP Olayinka Egbeyemi and the team has since directed that the suspects and exhibits be transferred to the Command Headquarters for further investigations.
