The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has destroyed Tramadol worth N91 million that was smuggled into Kano.
The 491,000 tablets of seized Tramadol 225mg were earlier intercepted by the Nigerian Customs Service and subsequently handed over to NAFDAC.
Director-General of NAFDAC, Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye, who supervised the exercise, insisted the agency would not rest until it eradicates dangerous drugs to safeguard the society.
Adeyeye, who was represented by Dr. Martins Iluyomade, Director of Investigation and Enforcement at NAFDAC, said the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Kano/Jigawa Command, intercepted the consignment when some unscrupulous elements attempted to smuggle it into Nigeria.
She stated that NCS, headed by Comptroller Dalhatu Abubakar, successfully intercepted the consignment during its routine patrol.
