One could have waved on such bullion vans if one had seen them on the road. No one would have thought that bags of Indian Hemp could be hidden inside the vans.

Sun Newspapers reports that a total of 41 bags of illicit drugs were found in the two vans.

Speaking to newsmen, the  state Commander of NDLEA, Mr. Bala Fagge, said “One could have waved on such bullion vans if one had seen them on the road. No one would have thought that bags of Indian Hemp could be hidden inside the vans.

“The bullion vans were abandoned by the drug dealers at Ijebu Igbo and in the border area at Ilara, Imeko Afon. We had made about five arrests in one month.”
