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.
The Customs Service described the operation as a major success in its ongoing fight against illicit drug trafficking, which poses a significant threat to public health and security. This seizure not only highlights the effectiveness of their strategies but also underscores the growing need for vigilance in border regions.
Authorities have confirmed that investigations are underway to identify and prosecute those involved in the smuggling network. Meanwhile, citizens and stakeholders are commending the Customs Service for their relentless efforts in protecting Nigeria’s borders and combating the drug trade.
