The Apapa Area Command of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has seized yet another batch of tramadol.
He disclosed that the container with number SUDU-753656 was manifested as 272 cartons of stainless steel hotpot but was captured and declared as cooking appliances, measuring/checking instrument and furnace burner to evade detection.
Comptroller Yusuf said that after joint examination by all security agencies, the container was found to have contained 55 cartons of Tramadol concealed in food flasks.
He added that each carton of Tramadol contains 50 rolls, each roll contains 10 packs, and each pack contains 10 sachets. He maintained that the seizure was in line with the Customs and Excise Management Act.
Compt. Yusuf however, advised importers and other stakeholders in import chain to adhere to the import and export rules to protect the nations economy and security.
Recall that barely 2 weeks ago, the command seized and handed over 150 cartoons of Tramadol worth over #6Billion to the Apapa Special command of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).
