The operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) have intercepted a 36-year-old businessman, Nwanwene Robinson Destiny, with 1,020 pills of tramadol 225mg and tapentadol 200mg concealed in his luggage while attempting to board a Royal Air Maroc flight to Milan, Italy, where he’s based.
The businessman was arrested at the terminal II departure hall of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Ikeja, Lagos State, on December 18, 2025.
The NDLEA spokesman, Femi Babafemi, in a statement on Sunday, said the suspect claimed the successful trafficking of the opioids to Italy would have fetched him €200 from the person he was to deliver them to.
