RRS arrests four, seizes 18 sacks of Indian hemp

The Rapid Response Squad (RRS) has arrested four persons believed to be narcotic specialists and recovered 18 sacks containing weeds suspected to be Indian hemp.
The RRS Commander, Assistant Commissioner of Police, ACP Olatunji Disu, said the suspects were arrested during a raid in Lagos on Sunday.
According to him, the raid followed a tip-off from Governor Ambode Akinwunmi. Disu said the gang had been terrorising Oyingbo-Otto and its environs. He said: “The operatives, during the special operation, apprehended four suspects, Quadri Jimoh (23), Tajudeen Busari (33), Ukowa Udomma (34) and Yakubu Mudashiru (30), while one man later identified as Olumide aka Aroso, the gang leader, who also deals in various drug substances bolted.”
But two of the suspects, Jimoh and Busari, told interrogators they were victims of circumstance as they knew nothing about the Indian hemp found in the building.
Jimoh, who lives at 15, Atitebi Street, Oyingbo, said that he was on his way to buy medications for his pregnant wife. He said: “I am a bus conductor.
My wife, who is six-month pregnant, called me to buy some prescribed medications for her. And on my way going to the pharmacy, I saw people running helter-skelter and I also ran with them. But unfortunately for me, I was caught by the policemen.”
