A statement by the state police command's spokesperson, SP Chike Oti. says the unscrupulous business men had driven against the traffic (one way) in order to evade arrest but the operatives of the command beat them to their game. Sequel to the above, the  Area Commander in charge of Area 'D' Mushin, ACP Akinbayo Olasoji was directed by the Commissioner of Police to handover the seized items to the officials of the  Department of Customs and Excise for further investigation and possible prosecution. The seized items are estimated to worth about fifty million Naira only.
