city.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the minister halted pan-takers&#8217; operations throughout the city for a period of two weeks.<\/p>\n<p>According to Odumosu, the suspects were found in possession of four daggers, three Jack knives, two chisels, and three knives.<\/p>\n<p>Other items included bits of iron rods, rubbish sacks, 45 wraps of cannabis sativa, 10 bottles of codeine syrup, and narcotic medications.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe suspects are currently being investigated and profiled and I will ensure that due diligence is followed in their prosecution,\u201d Odumosu stated.<\/p>\n<p>The corps
