The command’s spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the arrest in a post on his verified X handle @benHundeyin on Sunday.
Mr Hundeyin said the suspects were arrested at about 5:40 p.m. on Saturday in the Okokomaiko area of the state.
“Yesterday, a patrol team from Okokomaiko Division stopped and searched a Volkswagen LT bus at Afromedia.
“Found in the bus were 70 cartons of Feed Fine Cyproheptadine Caplets 4g, all with an expiry date of 2016,” he said.
He added that the suspects confessed they were taking the expired drugs Alaba to someone who would change the expiry dates and thereafter proceed with the drugs to Port Harcourt to be sold.
According to him, the suspects, drugs, and the bus are currently in custody.
Mr Hundeyin said the police are working hard to arrest the owner of the drugs, the individual altering the expiry dates, and other indicted persons.
