It was end of the road for a dismissed soldier and his accomplice after operatives of the Lagos State Police Command apprehended two of them for transporting about 1,200kg of cannabis and other hard drugs.
The suspects, a dismissed soldier, identified as Okoliko Andrew, and his partner, Idowu Adebayo, were arrested with vehicles in which they were conveying loaded drugs before they were intercepted around Itowolo in Ikorodu area of the state.
The two men were said to have been initially stopped for driving through Bus Rapid Transport (BRT) corridor around Itowolo, an offence that contravenes the state traffic laws. However, it was gathered that upon further interrogation by the police operatives attached to the state’s Task Force team, the suspects who were parading themselves as uniformed men ran out of luck after it was discovered that they were smuggling substances.
