The suspects, who are petty traders at a kiosk in Adedeji bus-stop, Itire, were caught selling the drugs to school pupils. Some of the pupils were later interrogated and released to their parents.
Officials of the Ministry of Education, Lagos State, on routine monitoring of schools around the area had gotten report of strange attitude of some of the pupils. The curiosity led to the discovery of the traders selling tramadol and other hard drug to some of the pupils.

Commenting on the incident, the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Imohimi Edgal, advised parents and guardians to always debrief their wards whenever they come back from school to know their activities in schools and the kind of friends they associate with.
Edgal added that the case would be thoroughly investigated and the prosecution monitored. The suspects have been transferred to the SCID for further investigation.
