“We ambushed the truck. We knew when they finished loading and when they started their movement and we chose to accost the truck on Awolowo road, as that would determine whether the drugs were being conveyed to the mainland or offshore,” Mr Adoro was quoted as saying at a press briefing on Tuesday.
