Police recover suspected hard drugs from hideout

 

The Oyo State Police Command has recovered various quantities of suspected illicit drugs from a criminal hideout in Ibadan.

The Command said the seizure followed credible intelligence provided by a strategic partner, which led operatives to the location.

In a statement, the Police Public Relations Officer, Ayanlade Olayinka, said the information indicated that an apartment on Abanise Street in the Academy area of Olomi, Ibadan, was being used to store a large consignment of suspected illicit drugs.

According to the statement, the apartment was allegedly linked to one Oluwadamilare Adedayo, a male resident of the address, who was believed to be using the premises for illegal activity.

The Command said the operation was part of ongoing efforts to rid the state of criminal elements and curb the circulation of illicit substances.
