The commander said that the suspects were found in possession of five packs of Canadian louds and each pack costs N10,000.

He said that the lounge had been sealed-off because there were arrays of different drugs and its accessories at the place, ranging from crushers, restlers, and drugs that look like masks, among others.

“My message to parents is that lounges are not innocent places for relaxation. Some of these lounges are places were drugs are being sold to our youths.

“If you go to these lounges, you will find out that undergraduates, youths are always found there.

“Lounges are sophisticated modern day points for drugs, and parents must watch out not to allow their children to go to those lounges,” he said.

Mr Joe-Fadile said the suspects would be charged to court as soon as investigations on the matter are concluded.
