Lagos State Government Arrests Three Students For Smoking Hemp & Using Codeine

Three students of Atunrashe High School, Mushin, were yesterday arrested by the Lagos State Government for smoking and being in possession of Indian hemp and substance known as codeine.

The pupils were nabbed by officials of Lagos State Neighbourhood and Safety Corps (LNSC). LNSC officials found the three under-aged boys smoking Indian hemp and using codeine in Surulere, and were later traced to their school.

The state Commissioner for Youth and Social Development, Mr Agboola Dabiri, who reacted to the development, said the state government would not condone any illegality.
