Operatives of the police command in Lagos State have arrested a 20-year-old woman, Aminat Ajayi, for alleged unlawful possession of 103 wraps of ‘Colorado’ in the Ijora area of the state.

The command spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the arrest in a statement on Sunday.

Mr Hundeyin said officers of the Ijora-Badia Division arrested the suspect on Sunday.

“DPO Ijora-Badia and team, acting on actionable intelligence, stormed Whitesand area where 20 years old Aminat Ajayi was arrested with 103 wraps of Colorado,” he said.

The image-maker said that an investigation was ongoing.

According to him, a reduction in the drug is directly proportional to a reduction in crime.

He said the command would not relent.

‘Colorado’ is a dangerous substance youth smoke to enliven their spirit and get intoxicated, most times leading to insanity.

It is derived from a synthetic plant and contains heavy metals, which are unhealthy for human consumption. It often causes victims to hallucinate and become unstable.
