04 May NDLEA uncovers tramadol worth N22bn imported by baron linked with Abba Kyari
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency has said it uncovered how a suspected billionaire drug baron, Chief Afam Mallinson Ukatu, imported 1,284 cartons of Tramadol with a market value of over N22 billion.
The NDLEA made this known in a statement signed by its Director, Media & Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, on Tuesday in response to claims that there was not enough evidence to charge Ukatu.
The NDLEA had arrested Ukatu in connection with the N3bn Tramadol deal allegedly involving the embattled suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari-led Intelligence Response Team.
According to the agency, the ongoing investigation into the activities of Ukatu led to the discovery of how he imported two containers of Tramadol within a month as far back as 2019.
“Investigations reveal he’s been a major importer of large consignments of different brands and high dosages of Tramadol Hydrochloride, ranging from 120mg, 200mg, 225mg and 250mg, all of which are illicit.
