Two men, Augustine Egemoye and Innocent Eremosele are in police custody in Lagos after they were caught while going to Alaba International Market, Ojo, Lagos, with a huge consignment of expired drugs.
Lagos State Police Command’s spokesperson, Benjamin Hundeyin wrote:
“At about 5:40 pm yesterday, a patrol team from Okokomaiko Division stopped and searched a Volkswagen LT bus at Afromedia. Found in the bus were seventy cartons of Feed Fine Cyproheptadine Caplets 4g, all with an expiry date of 2016.
