More trouble seems to be staring the suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari in the face, as the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has launched a probe into the seizure of a large consignment of Tramadol, an illegal drug, in Lagos.
According to a newspaper, NDLEA commenced the probe as those close to Kyari in the police were believed to be worried that more illegalities linked to the team led by the police officer may be uncovered.
Kyari was arrested last week after the NDLEA busted a drug ring operating the Brazil–Ethiopia–Nigeria route.
The agency alleged that he was a member of the syndicate, asking a court to extend his detention to facilitate investigation into the activities of his team.
“Abba Kyari team had been linked to the alleged seizure of a large consignment of Tramadol in a warehouse at Amuwo-Odofin area of Lagos,” the newspaper said in their report on Sunday.
The consignment, according to the sources, was worth N3billion and it was imported into Nigeria by an individual who claimed to be a pharmacist.
