Police arrest physically-challenged drug suspect
Policemen attached to the Akinpelu Division of the Lagos State Police Command have arrested a 52-year-old physically-challenged man, Adamu Ileyasu, suspected of drug dealing.
The command’s Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, disclosed this in a post on his X account on Friday.
His caption read, “A physically-challenged man has been arrested by officers from Akinpelu Division.
“Information was received from concerned Nigerians that he was a drug dealer.
“Upon his arrest, his bag was searched and found in his possession were weed suspected to be Indian hemp and tramadol capsules.
“Investigation is ongoing to apprehend his supplier and others in the supply chain.”
The National Daily gathered in November 2023 how operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency arrested a 45-year-old drug dealer, Godwin Emuneyin, who is physically challenged and uses his wheelchair as a cover to deal in illicit substances in Owan East Local Government Area of Edo State.
