A container load of tramadol worth $6 billion has been seized by customs at the Apapa port
The seizure of a container of tramadol smuggled from Pakistan with a street value of about ₦6 billion was reported by the Apapa Command of the Nigeria Customs Service, or NCS.

Comptroller Yusuf Ibrahim Malanta, Customs Area Controller of Apapa Customs, revealed this over the weekend. He said the drugs were securely covered with towels, but were found thanks to officers' sharp eyes and the use of a system he named "Forensic Manifest Management System."

Details of the offensive items handed over to the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, by the Customs, according to Malanta, include “1x20ft container No. PCIU 0183241 laden with eighty-one (81) cartons of 250mg and sixty-nine (69) cartons of 225mg of tramadol tablets (Each carton contains 72 rolls, each roll contains 10 packs, each pack contains 10 sachets, and each sachet contains 10 tablets) totaling 150 cartons of tramadol tablets.”

When accepting the container, Mr. Ameh Inalegwu, the Apapa Commander of the NDLEA, stated that Brig. Gen. Buba Marwa (Rtd. ), the Chairman of the NDLEA, had expressed tremendous pride in the Apapa Customs chief.
