In a phone interview on Sunday, the Commissioner of Police, Hussaini Gumel, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that the suspects were apprehended at a warehouse in Sharada with over 200 empty bags.
He said that the suspects were repackaging rice and maize at the Sharada warehouse.
“We have since commenced intensive investigation to find out how many bags of maize or rice were repackaged and sold,” he said.
Gumel stated that the two suspects would be charged to court after the completion of separate investigations.
