Briefing journalists at Onne on Tuesday, the Customs Area 2 Comptroller, Mohammed Babandede, said contained 1,721,100 bottles of 100ml Cough Syrup Codeine, 510,000 tablets of 50mg Really Extra Diclofenac and 7,100,000 tablets of 225mg Royal apple Tramadol and Tramaking.

Babandede stated that 3,461 pieces of sanitary ware fittings, 840 pieces of Chilly cutter and 153 cartons of TVS rubber were used to conceal the illicit drugs in the 12 containers.

“Our vigilant officers and men have successfully intercepted and siezed an additional 12 containers (40 feet) of illicit medicine. This is a testament to our unwavering commitment to safeguarding public health, ensuring security of our nation and compliance with Nigeria’s import regulations. This also justifies our commitment to trade facilitation, transparency, effective and efficient service delivery.

“This latest seizure underscores the passion and diligence of the officers and men of the Onne Command in ensuring the illicit drug and other harmful goods do not find their way into our country through our area of responsibility.
