Nigeria’s National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has successfully intercepted 50,000 pills of Tramadol 225mg that were smuggled from Ghana. <\/p>\n This significant anti-drug trafficking operation took place on Saturday, November 16, along the Lagos-Badagry Expressway at Ijanikin.<\/p>\n According to a report by Nigeria’s Daily Post, the pills were hidden in the body compartments of a Toyota Hummer bus, which allegedly belonged to GUO Transport Company. The vehicle was driven by a suspected trans-border trafficker.<\/p>\n Femi Babafemi, the NDLEA’s Director of Media and Advocacy, stated that the operation was intelligence-led, focusing on the increasing movement of controlled substances across borders. <\/p>\n This seizure underscores the ongoing challenges of drug trafficking between Ghana and Nigeria, with Tramadol being a frequent target due to its high demand and potential for abuse.<\/p>\n NDLEA Chairman, Buba Marwa, praised the officers involved for their vigilance and effectiveness in intercepting the shipment. <\/p>\n He reaffirmed the agency’s commitment to enhancing its operations along border routes to prevent the influx of illicit substances into Nigeria.<\/p>\n GA<\/p>\n Watch George Ayisi’s interview with Adam Bonaa on the recent unrest in Bawku below:<\/b><\/p>\n![\"The](\"https:\/\/cdn.ghanaweb.com\/imagelib\/pics\/700\/70078551.295.jpg\" "\\"The")
