Drug Abuse Menace: Customs intercepts two containers of Tramadol in Lagos
Nigeria’s drug problems seem to be having no end in sight as barely a week after banning the importation of codeine syrup, two containers loaded with prohibited Tramadol tablets, have been intercepted.
The containers were smuggled into the country from India.
The Tin Can Island Port Command of the Nigeria Customs Service, on Tuesday, intercepted the pharmaceutical products in Lagos.
The comptroller of the Tin-Can Customs command, Musa Abdulahi who handed over the drugs to officials of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NAFDAC) in Lagos, said the pharmaceutical products were falsely declared as electrical static converters and ciprofloxacin.
