The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has intercepted a truck carrying over 2.49 million tramadol pills worth more than N2 billion in Gombe State.
Commander Okechukwu Nkere of the Gombe NDLEA revealed that the drugs, hidden under bags of salt, were seized at the state’s entry point on September 13.
According to reports, the pills, intended for Gombe and Borno states, were stopped thanks to a tip-off.
Three suspects, including the driver, are in custody while investigations continue.
State officials commended the NDLEA for the break, describing it as a major victory in the fight against drug abuse.
