Date:



In a significant victory against illegal smuggling, Nigerian Customs officials in Ogun State intercepted a massive haul of cannabis and Tramadol, with an estimated street value of ₦117 million. The seizure was part of an intensified operation aimed at curbing the influx of contraband substances into the country.

Officials revealed that the interception occurred during a coordinated crackdown on smugglers operating within the region. The confiscated items, including large quantities of cannabis and the restricted pharmaceutical Tramadol, were reportedly being transported through secret routes to avoid detection.
