The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, has intercepted two suspected fake military officers in a new VIP edition of Toyota Hilux Jeep loaded with a total of 394 compressed parcels of illicit drugs concealed in different parts of the vehicle.
The suspected
fake military officers; Mohammed Nura and Abubakar Dahiru, were intercepted by
vigilant operatives of the Kogi state Command of the NDLEA along Okene-Lokoja
expressway on Monday, February 15, 2021.
According to
the Commander, Kogi state Command of the anti-drug agency, Adewunmi Alfred, the
VIP edition of the Hilux Jeep was properly searched during which 394 compressed
blocks of cannabis sativa were discovered in different compartments of the
vehicle.
'Our initial
investigations have revealed that the consignment was taken from Lagos and
heading to Kano for delivery. Though the two men identified themselves as
military officers but that did not sway our men from a thorough search of their
vehicle, and the result was the discovery of the illicit drugs tucked in every
hidden part of the vehicle. Indeed, we suspect the two men to be fake military
officers until proven otherwise'' Adewunmi said.
He added that
the vehicle has been impounded, the illicit drugs seized and the suspects
detained for further investigations.
