Fatai Owoseni,police commissioner,said 515 copies of the ''offending '' newspaper were recovered during a raid on the printing press of the organisation in the Shomolu area of Lagos.''This is an offence punishable under the Criminal law of Lagos state,'' he said.He added that the suspectss would be charged to court as soon as detectives finished interrogating them.
