The CP said that the suspects were reportedly repackaging the rice and maize at the warehouse in the area.
“We have since commenced intensive investigation to find out how many bags of maize or rice were repackaged and sold,” he said.
Gumel added that the two suspects would be charged in court after the conclusion of discreet investigations.
