The FCT police command says it recovered 22 bags of dried leaves suspected to be Indian hemp at a gas plant at Wumba, near Apo, Abuja.
In a statement, spokesman of the FCT police command, DSP Anjuguri Manzah, said the recovery was made by police operatives from the FCT command working on a tip-off.
He said the illicit drugs, which were concealed in a room at a gas plant, were recovered by the Apo police division following intelligence made available to the division.
