It was pure drama today at the EFCC premises in Ibadan when a sexagenarian named Muyiwa Otulayo a fish-farmer, tried to smuggle hard drugs for his son who is in the EFCC custody for alleged fraudulent practices.
According to the anti-graft commission, the man was at the premises of the EFCC in Ibadan on Monday, February 17, 2020, supposedly to visit his son but while discussing with the son, an officer noticed that he brought out a sachet of tablets and handed same to him.
The officer subsequently raised an alarm which led to the confiscation of the drug. When the in-house nurse was called upon for assessment of the content, it was revealed that the said item was Rohypnol, a tranquillizer used under strict prescription for treatment of severe insomnia and assist in anaesthesia.

The drug is said to possess high sedative effect and is rarely used except when prescribed by licensed medical officers. The younger Otuyalo was recently arrested after a criminal case of money laundering detected in the United Kingdom was reported against him.
The case which involved £45,000 was a fragment of a wider one involving about £500,000 for which he has been declared wanted by the London Metropolitan Police.
