NDLEA INTERCEPT N1BN TRAMADOL AT LAGOS AIRPORT

Officials of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) have intercepted over 2,465 000 tablets of tramadol worth N1 billion at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Ikeja, Lagos.


The tramadol tablets in 225mg and 250mg, weighing 2,356kg, were reportedly imported from Pakistan on Friday 7th October 


This came barely a week after about 13.5 million pills of the same opioid worth over N8.8billion were confiscated by NDLEA operatives from one of the mansions of a billionaire drug baron in the highbrow residential estate, Victoria Garden City, VGC, Lekki Lagos.


Available report indicates that the agency followed credible intelligence on the consignment of 52 cartons that came into Nigeria from Karachi, Pakistan with six different airway bills via Ethiopian Airline flight, comprising seven cartons of 250mg of a brand called tamral and 45 cartons of 225mg, branded as tramaking.


Soon after it arrived at the Lagos airport, the NDLEA called for a joint examination of the consignment with other stakeholders and after its information was confirmed by all, the 52 cartons of the seized substance which are above the recommended threshold for medical use and banned in the country, were moved to the Agency’s facility.
