The Lagos State Police Command has intercepted 10 bags of illicit drugs suspected to be Indian Hemp.
The police said the drugs, packed in 10 sacks, were being conveyed in a Lagos colour commercial bus with registration number LND 995 XT from Iddo to a destination in Mushin.
The command in a series of tweets on its Twitter handle on Sunday said the bus was stopped by the Rapid Response Squad at Stadium Bus Stop, Surulere, during a routine patrol.
