The Ondo State Police Command has arrested three suspected drug dealers and recovered substances suspected to be cannabis, tramadol, codeine syrup and Tutolin syrup during a patrol operation in Akure, the state capital.
The command’s spokesperson, Abayomi Jimoh, disclosed this in a statement issued on Thursday.
According to the statement, the suspects, identified as Fisayo Adedamola, Adeola Oluwaseun and Adeogun Olumide, were arrested on July 24 by operatives of the command’s Anti-Cultism Squad during a confidence-building patrol within the Akure metropolis.
