The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has seized 159 million tablets of Tramadol at Apapa Port in Lagos, Director, Technical Services, Mr. Femi Oloruntoba, has said.
According to Oloruntoba, about 50 tonnes of Tramadol was destroyed in Kano.
He said there were laws guiding the use of controlled drugs, such as Tramadol and Cocaine, adding that what is needed is enforcement of the laws.
The director said only the Federal High Court had jurisdiction to try drug cases and described it as “a challenge”.
He said because the cases could not be prosecuted in a magistrates’ court, most of the time the Federal High Court was congested.
