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.
It has been reported that the Ebola virus is rising again and there have been some cases. This has caused fear in many, with talks of different viruses spreading.
Amid this concern, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) reassured the people that no trace of Ebola has been confirmed in the country, despite the outbreak in Africa.
FAAN shared that they have been on the lookout for travellers who may have symptoms, and so far there is none.
It has been reported that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has finally released the withheld results of 279 students.
It can be recalled that some results were held due to investigations of cheating. Some results proved to have traces of malpractice and were cancelled, but the ones without traces have been released and the students can finally move on.
JAMB also shared additional advice for students that might have not seen theirs: “Candidates whose results have not yet been released are advised to check their status by sending UTMERESULT to 55019 or 66019 using the same phone number used for registration to view their released results.”
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
