Police Nabs Four With Indian Hemp Laden In Freezer
Operatives of the Nigerian Police Force in Ogun State have arrested four suspects with a freezer loaded with weeds suspected to be Indian hemp.
The command’s spokesman, Abimbola Oyeyemi, in a statement on Sunday said the said two men and two females were arrested on Saturday in connection with the seizure.
He added that “is in furtherance of total clampdown on hoodlums perpetrating violent crimes such as armed robbery, kidnapping and cultism, following which a special operation outfit code named ‘Operation Puff Adder‘ was launched recently by the Commissioner of Police, Bashir Makama.
He noted that the suspects were arrested at Iperin black spots in Agbara area on Saturday during a raid of the area.
According to him, the suspects were caught with the deep freezer which they pretended to use to sell soft drinks, but when it was opened, it was found loaded with the suspected weeds.
“On interrogation, they confessed being the major distributors of the substance in Agbara area and that they always used the freezer to distribute it around so as to deceive security agents and evade arrest,” he said.
The suspects include: Opeyemi Wahab, 22; Kabirat Ahmed, 21; Yusuf Rasaki, 20; and Saheed Mustapha, 32.
