In the same vein, a total of 525 pills of tramadol 225mg and ecstasy (MDMA) concealed in ladies’ sanitary pads going to Cyprus were seized at another courier firm in Lagos by NDLEA operatives on Tuesday, September 3, while a shipment of 200 ampoules of promethazine and pentazocine injections hidden in food items and herbs heading to London, UK, was also seized by operatives on Wednesday September 4th.

The NDLEA operatives equally intercepted another consignment of tramadol 225mg buried in granulated melon that came from Cameroon and going to South Africa on Friday September 6th.

Meanwhile, no fewer than 550,000 pills of tramadol were also intercepted at the Port Harcourt International Airport, in Rivers State on Monday September 3, 2024 during a joint examination of a cargo that came from Delhi, India, with men of the Nigerian Customs Service while a suspect was already arrested in connection with the seizure.

In Ekiti state, NDLEA operatives, supported by men of the Nigerian Army on Tuesday 3rd and Wednesday 4th September, stormed three camps inside the Ise-Ekiti Forest Reserve, in Ise/Orun local government area, where over 100,000 kilograms of cannabis spread across 51 hectares of farm land were destroyed.
