With his being connected to a recovered huge consignment of Tramadol, an illicit 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 neglected to notify the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency about the problem.
This comes at a time when Kyari was tied to a drug trafficking group operating through the Brazil–Ethiopia–Nigeria corridor.

According to the report, sources close to the NDLEA said the Kyari squad was involved in the purported recovery of a huge shipment of Tramadol in a warehouse in Lagos’ Amuwo-Odofin neighborhood.
The source disclosed that the consignment of Tramadol was worth ₦3billion and it was imported into the country by a pharmacist.
A further report revealed that the Kyari team heard about the consignment and invaded the warehouse where the drug was stocked.
The sources disclosed that the NDLEA was not informed about the drug which was seized last year.

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.”
