Abba Kyari Linked To 3b Tramadol Seizure- NDLEA

With his being linked to a recovered huge consignment of Tramadol, an illegal narcotic, in Lagos, the misery of a suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari, appears to be far from over.

According to reports, the former head of the IGP Intelligence Response Team failed to notify the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency about the problem.

This comes at a time when Abba Kyari was tied to a drug trafficking group operating through the Brazil–Ethiopia–Nigeria corridor.

Sources close to the NDLEA told Vanguard that the Kyari squad was linked to the purported seizure of a significant consignment of Tramadol in a warehouse in Lagos’ Amuwo-Odofin neighborhood.

According to the source, the Tramadol shipment was worth $3 billion and was brought into the country by a pharmacist.

According to another account, the Kyari team learned of the consignment and went to the warehouse where the narcotic was kept.

The NDLEA was not alerted about the narcotic that was confiscated last year, according to sources.

One of the sources said, “What this means is that the IRT may have sold the consignment of Tramadol to a cartel after storming the Amuwo Odofin warehouse and seizing the Tramadol.

“We have launched a probe into the case to get to the root of the matter.”
