* Driver jumps out of vehicle, flees
Police operatives in Lagos have intercepted a car in the Ojo area of the State loaded with items suspected to be cannabis (Indian hemp).
Spokesman for the police command, Benjamin Hundeyin, disclosed this in a statement on Friday in Lagos.
He said operatives attached to the Ojo Division recovered the Toyota Sienna vehicle during a routine stop-and-search operation in the area.
The spokesman said: “On August 15, while on routine patrol, the operatives stopped an ash-coloured Toyota Sienna.
“In the process of demanding the driver’s identification and vehicle documents, the driver suddenly jumped out and fled with the vehicle key, abandoning the car.
“A thorough search of the vehicle led to the recovery of one army jungle hat, two ATM cards, and two bags of substances suspected to be cannabis.”
He added that the recovered vehicle and exhibits had been transferred to Special Squad 2 of the command for further investigations.
