Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency

persons to import drugs into Nigeria.
The Chairman/ Chief Executive of NDLEA, Colonel Muhammad
Abdallah (rtd), who disclosed this said the agency has discovered
another 40-foot container at Brawal terminal in Lagos.
He explained that the discovery was made during follow up
investigations by the NDLEA after the police intercepted a 40-foot
container laden with about 40 cartons of tramadol and other banned
drugs, concealed in cartons of brushes.
A joint examination conducted on the container revealed that 255
cartons of different types of tramadol and other banned medicines
were concealed therein.
