Apapa Customs Handover N3.7B Tramadol To NDLEA

The Apapa command of the Nigeria Customs Service has handed over seized Tramadol capsules worth over N3.7b to the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA)

The drugs, according to the Customs Area Controller (CAC) of the command, Comptroller Yusuf Malanta were packed in 150 cartons containing 4,500,000 capsules of 120mg

Comptroller Malanta while handing over the drugs to the Narcotic Commander of Apapa Special Area Command of NDLEA, Ameh Inalegwu, warned that Apapa Port will continually be a 'No Go Area' for all forms of illegal trade.

He said the command is strengthening the already existing synergy with NDLEA an other government agencies in ensuring that importers of illicit drugs and their collaborators are stopped as all antics being applied by the smuggles to evade detection including disguised labeling will always be uncovered in the course of examination.

The Controller urged compliant traders to keep obeying the law and warned that no stone will be left unturned in bringing perpetrators of such illegal importation to book.

Inalegwu, after receiving the seizures, commended the NCS for what he described as it’s persistence and uncompromising efforts in the fight against illicit drugs.

Inalegwu said the society is further saved from the havoc such quantity of drugs could have caused the society if undetected and allowed into the market.

According to him,the street value of the prohibited drugs which used to be N8m per cartoon has increased to N25m following sustained pressure by the NDLEA on the peddlers which has resulted in reduced volume in circulation.

He further expressed the commendation of the Chairman, Chief Executive of the NDLEA , General Buba Marwa to the customs for the productive synergy between both agencies and urged other organisations to emulate.
