Officers from the Okokomaiko Division of the Lagos State Police Command, on Saturday evening, intercepted a Volkswagen LT bus loaded with seventy cartons of expired drugs and arrested two suspects.
The command’s Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, revealed this in a statement on his X handle on Sunday.
According to Hundeyin, the discovery was made at 5:40 pm at Afromedia, where the officers stopped the suspicious vehicle for a search, and found seventy cartons of Feed Fine Cyproheptadine Caplets 4g, which all had an expiry date of 2016.
