The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has dismantled a transnational drug trafficking syndicate operating along the Togo–Benin Republic–Nigeria corridor, intercepting 1.63 million pills of tramadol concealed in two trailers heading from Lagos to Kano.
The agency said the intelligence-led operation uncovered 1,630,000 pills of tramadol (250mg) hidden in specially fabricated compartments beneath the cargo floors of the trucks.
According to the NDLEA, the operation came barely a week after operatives intercepted another truck carrying 558,900 tramadol pills concealed in a false compartment after entering Nigeria through the Togo-Benin Republic route.
