According to him, the vigilant troops carried out a thorough search on the vehicle and detected layers of compartments packed with 296 wraps of substance suspected to be marijuana, stressing that preliminary investigation indicated that the wraps of illicit substance were transported from Benin Republic, through Ilara border communities en route Ifo, Ogun.

“It was further revealed that it took the transnational drug traffickers five months to conceal the substance for delivery to their clients.
