The controller added that "the substance was conceived in mutilated rags of clothes so as to prevent the men of the command to feel the substance until the men of the command checked the substance in the abandoned vehicles and discovered the substance inside the lorry used for the smuggling to be illegal.

"The cat was let out of the bag, as the suspects involved in the act fled into the bush and ran away from being arrested by men of the command on during the operation".
