On February 4, the command arrested two suspects with 70 cartons of expired Cyproheptadine Caplets.
The suspects, after their arrest by a patrol team from Okokomaiko police division, confessed that they were taking the drugs with 2016 expiry dates, to someone in the Alaba area of the state to change the dates.
