NDLEA Seizes 2.49 Million Tramadol Tablets in Gombe
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has confiscated around 2.49 million tramadol tablets and capsules on the Gombe-Bauchi Expressway, with an estimated value exceeding ₦2 billion. The Gombe State NDLEA Commander, Okechukwu Nkere, reported that the truck, disguised with bags of salt, was intercepted on September 13, leading to the arrest of the driver and a passenger. Following a search, officials discovered a large quantity of tramadol concealed within the vehicle, which lacked the necessary pharmaceutical licensing.
Nkere emphasized the importance of collaborative efforts in the fight against drug trafficking, stating that tackling this issue requires everyone’s involvement. He also highlighted the potential dangers these drugs posed to the youth in the region. Abdullahi Bello, the Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, praised the seizure as a significant achievement and reinforced the ongoing partnership between security agencies and the government to ensure safety in Gombe.
