More than 100 jerrycans of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), also known as gasoline, were about to be illegally transported across the country, according to operations of the Nigeria Police Force Border Patrol Unit.
The feat was accomplished while officers were on stop-and-search duty along the Illela–Sokoto Highway, according to a statement released on Saturday by the Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin.
Yasir Adamu, the driver, was intercepted by members of the unit and given an arrest warrant for the vehicle loaded with 80 Jamaican rappers.
However, it was discovered after a preliminary investigation that the suspect was attempting to smuggle petroleum products into the Niger Republic.
In a similar breakthrough, Hundeyin claimed that Katsina-based operatives found 35 jerrycans that were about to be transported into the Niger Republic and contained 25 litres of PMS.
The suspects left the exhibits and fled after seeing the team, according to the statement.
