This is coming barely a week after seizing a shipment of the same number of codeine-based syrup bottles at the Port Harcourt Ports complex in Onne, Rivers State.

NDLEA spokesperson, Femi Babafemi said in a statement on Sunday, that the two seizures followed earlier intelligence, which made the agency request that the shipment be stepped down for 100 per cent examination.

“The latest seizure of 875 cartons of codeine containing 175,000 bottles and weighing 26,250kg, was made on Friday June 7, 2024 during a joint examination by NDLEA, Customs Service and other security agencies.

“The container marked HASU 4787890 from India was enroute C to C bonded terminal in Enugu,” Babafemi explained.
