Police arrest ’67-year-old drug dealer’ in Lagos
The Lagos police command has arrested one Orji Isaac, a 67-year-old man, for “peddling illicit drugs” in the state.
Officers arrested the suspected drug dealer during one of the unit patrols in the Yaba area on Wednesday.
Ben Hundeyin, the command’s spokesperson, said one Lekan Ganiyu, a 22-year-old man, was arrested while attempting to buy illicit drugs from the suspected drug dealer.
“Police Officers of Sabo Division, while embarking on surveillance patrol, busted a drug dealer, Orji Isaac ‘m’ aged 67, while selling drugs to one Lekan Ganiyu ‘m’ aged 22,” the statement reads.
“The duo will be arraigned after an investigation.”
On February 4, the command arrested two suspects with 70 cartons of expired Cyproheptadine Caplets.
The suspects, after their arrest by a patrol team from Okokomaiko police division, confessed that they were taking the drugs with 2016 expiry dates, to someone in the Alaba area of the state to change the dates.
