Operatives of Ojo Division of the Lagos State Police Command have recovered a Toyota Sienna vehicle and items suspected to be cannabis during a routine stop-and-search operation in the area.
The incident occurred on August 15, 2025, when officers on patrol intercepted an ash-coloured Toyota Sienna. Upon requesting the driver’s identification and vehicle documents, the driver suddenly fled the scene with the car key, abandoning the vehicle.
A search of the abandoned vehicle uncovered two bags of substances suspected to be cannabis, one Army jungle hat, and two ATM cards.
The vehicle and exhibits have since been transferred to Special Squad 2 of the Lagos State Police Command, Ikeja, for further investigation.
Commissioner of Police, CP Olohundare Jimoh, commended the alertness of the Ojo Division operatives and assured Lagos residents that efforts are underway to trace and apprehend the fleeing suspect.
He emphasized the Command’s commitment to intensified patrols and intelligence-led policing, urging citizens to remain law-abiding and promptly report suspicious activities to the Police.
Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the development in a statement issued on Friday, August 22, 2025.
