The Lagos
State Police Command has intercepted a Seaco container with tons of
suspected adulterated and contraband drugs at the Apapa area of the state.
The container which was shipped from
Asia, had cartons of scrubbing brushes carefully packed to conceal the
contraband and counterfeit drugs.
A police patrol team attached to
Area B Command discovered the container inside Eleganza Plaza in Apapa while it
was offloading the goods into another truck with neither clearance from the
Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) nor bill of landing of the container with number
SEGU 6326800.
Suspecting that the container might
have been stolen, the detectives on the instruction of the Area Commander,
Olasoji Akinbayo, requested to see the NSC personnel escorting it to a BCT in
order to know why it was diverted to the plaza but there was none.
Consequently, the two trucks with
registration numbers KTU216XG and SNK700XV were impounded and a search
conducted on them only for the police to discover abortion pills, tramadol,
cough syrup with codeine which are contraband drugs as well as suspected
adulterated GSK and other brands of medications.
