The Lagos State Police Command has uncovered a suspected high-tech indoor cannabis farm at a residential property in Apapa, arresting two persons in connection with the discovery.
The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Abimbola Adebisi, says the facility was discovered on November second at about eight fifteen in the morning, following credible intelligence received by the Command.
She says a search of the premises revealed a sophisticated indoor farming facility equipped for the cultivation, harvesting, and processing of substances suspected to be cannabis.
The suspects were identified as forty-nine-year-old Polish national, Thomas Razvickas, and thirty-six-year-old Nigerian, James Chisome, both residents of the property.
According to the Police, the suspects are in custody and have made confessional statements while assisting investigators with useful information.
The Commissioner of Police, Mr Tijani Fatai, who visited the scene, commended the operatives for what he described as effective intelligence-led policing and reaffirmed the Command’s commitment to dismantling drug-related criminal networks.
He also appreciated members of the public for their cooperation and urged residents to continue providing credible information to the Police to help combat crime across the state.#
