Addressing at the Command headquarters, he revealed that the suspect had hidden the 228kg of Indian hemp, worth millions of Nigerian Naira, in the Toyota Camry’s booth.
He said, “We have been on his trail for a very long time and at a time, we also suspected that he was very suspicious and almost about to get wind he was being trailed, so we lay low.
