Operatives of the Lagos State Police Command have recovered a Toyota Sienna vehicle loaded with items suspected to be cannabis and other exhibits during a routine stop-and-search operation.
The command’s spokesperson, Ben Hundeyin, disclosed this in a post on X on Friday, August 22, stating that the operation was carried out by officers attached to the Ojo Division.
According to the statement, “On 15th August 2025, while on routine patrol, operatives stopped an ash-coloured Toyota Sienna. In the process of requesting the driver’s identification and vehicle documents, the driver suddenly jumped out of the vehicle and fled with the key, abandoning the car.”
