The Lagos State Police Command has arrested four suspects after intercepting a truck allegedly conveying military camouflage uniforms and cartons of suspected illicit drugs along the Lekki–Epe corridor.
Commissioner of Police, Tijani Fatai, said the vehicle was intercepted on Saturday night following intelligence reports that the consignment was being moved out of Lagos to the South-East.
He said operatives of the State Tactical Squad discovered sacks of military camouflage uniforms and cartons of suspected hard drugs during the operation.
According to him, preliminary investigations indicate the items were headed to the eastern part of the country, while efforts are ongoing to identify those behind the shipment.
Fatai added that the suspects are in custody and would be charged after investigations are concluded.
He also confirmed that other related operations led to the arrest of foreign nationals, recovery of firearms in Ijanikin, and the dismantling of a “one chance” robbery syndicate.
The police said investigations into all cases are ongoing.
