Three transborder traffickers with 48,000 tablets of tramadol nabbed

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has arrested no fewer than three suspected transborder drug traffickers with 48,000 tablets of Tramadol.

NDLEA in a statement by its spokesman, Femi Babafemi, on Sunday, explained that the suspects were nabbed while trying to smuggle the drug through Mubi, Adamawa state to the Cameroon Republic.

While identifying the suspects as Mohammed Hussaini, Adamu Bella, and Mohammed Umar, the anti-drugs agency further informed that they were apprehended on January 28 at Tsamiya Junction, Madanya Road, Mubi, Mubi North Local Government Area of Adamawa State with the exhibits concealed in the packets of another drug.

“When interviewed, they claimed the drugs were being taken to Bagira town along Nigeria-Cameroon border to be delivered to some Cameroonians for onward delivery to Maroa in Cameroon,” the statement added.

In his remarks, NDLEA Chairman/Chief Executive, Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (Retd), lauded the officers for their tenacity and vigilance, charging them, along with their colleagues across the country, not to relent until the last gram of illicit drug is recovered from every part of Nigeria.
