Lagos State Police Command has arrested 60-year-old Augustine Egemoye and 35-year-old Innocent Eremosele for transporting expired drugs to the Alaba International Market, with a view to changing the dates.
Spokesperson for the command, Benjamin Hundeyin, said the suspects were arrested on Saturday, at about 5:40 p.m.
According to him, a patrol team from Okokomaiko Division stopped and searched a Volkswagen LT bus at Afromedia and found 70 cartons of Feed Fine Cyproheptadine Caplets 4g, all with expiry date of 2016.
“The two occupants of the vehicle confessed they were taking the expired drugs to somebody in Alaba who would change the expiry dates, and thereafter proceed with the drugs to Port Harcourt to be sold.
“Suspects, drugs and the vehicle are currently in custody. Efforts are ongoing to arrest the owner of the drugs, the individuals altering expiry dates and other indicted persons,” he added.
