Ilogbo Police bursts drug camp at Eledu

Officers of the Nigeria Police Force attached to Ilogbo Police Station of Lagos State have burst a drug camp at the Eledu area, with various hard drugs recovered.

The Police officers led by one Bale raided the drug camp on Thursday and arrested a salesgirl known as “Iya Yusuf”, while the drug dealer fled.

Speaking with the DPO of the station, SP Afolayan Victoria, she explained that the sales of hard drugs at the remote area became worrisome following incessant robberies and crime.

“When these boys take this hard drug, they go about doing all manners of evil, including robbery. Bikes are being robbed from their owner, people lose their phones to them and it is a slap on my face.

“Since I came in, I have to mobilize officers to come and join me in doing the cleansing. All manners of hard drugs were brought here, including cocaine. Look at the hard drugs as they are many.

“The sales girl arrested claimed that she does not take the drugs but look at her eyes. Such people can even be keeping gun for the robbers who come to patronize them.

“The sales of hard drugs at this area has really gotten out of hand, but I will not watch it continue. I wonder why won’t the salesgirl look for a trade to learn or something else to do than selling hard drugs.”

Iya Yusuf, who spoke with TNG, noted that she is a mother of two children and was introduced to the drug dealer as she was in search of a job in the area.

“I want to return to Ibadan if I see money for transport. Na only cigarette I smoke,” she wept.

Meanwhile, in a video, the drug dealer was seen naked at Ilogbo Junction of the area, saying she is a first offender and has many police officers that she settles at Area K and Morogbo Police Station for her drug camp not to be raided.

According to her, she does not have a home and had told the salesgirl to be keeping the cocaine in a bush.

“If she did not do so and police caught her with it, she will be the one that will go to jail. If I have the contact of the person controlling Ilogbo Police Station, I would have called the person and we will discuss how I will be paying because I don’t want police disturbance at where I am doing my business,” she ranted to the crowd.
