The state Commissioner of Police, Edward Ajogun, disclosed this on Thursday while displaying the exhibits at the police headquarters, Eleweran, Abeokuta.
According to him, a cash sum of N2,722,750 and hard drugs worth over N10m were recovered during the raid, but the suspects escaped from the scene.
The police commissioner explained that the command was held back from engaging the fleeing suspects to avoid civilian casualties.

Also, 6 packs of uniplex codeine, 4 packs of Pandeen expectorant, 2 packs of emzoline, 3 packs of backwoods honey, 1 carton of max cough codeine, axes, cutlasses and dangerous charms were also said to be recovered by the police.
