The alleged seizure, it was found out, was not disclosed to the firm.

According to Vanguard, NDLEA during the weekend began the probe as those close to Kyari in the police were believed to be fretted that more supposed illegalities linked to the team led by the police officer may be discovered.

The once-celebrated officer was jailed recently after the NDLEA busted a drug ring operating the Brazil– Ethiopia– Nigeria route.

The company declared that he was a member of the syndicate and went ahead to ask a court to extend his detention to facilitate examination into the activities of his group.

Sources near the NDLEA said that the Kyari-led team had been linked to the alleged seizure of a large consignment of Tramadol in a warehouse at the Amuwo-Odofin location of Lagos.

It was collected that the consignment, was worth N3billion and it was imported into Nigeria by a person who claimed to be a pharmacist.

IRT, it was learnt, apparently discovered the consignment and stormed the storage facility where the controlled substance was equipped, causing the seizure.

Numerous sources at the NDLEA stated the firm ordinarily must have been told of the supposed seizure which was said to have taken place last year, stating the Abba Kyari group did not notify the company of the development.

“What this suggests is that the IRT may have offered the consignment of Tramadol to a cartel after storming the Amuwo Odofin storage facility and seizing the Tramadol,” among the sources stated.

“We have actually released a probe into the case with a view to getting to the root of the matter,” the source included.
