Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency NDLEA, have arrested and seized a trailer truck full of codeine syrup. According to information gathered, the arrest was made yesterday at Funtua area command of Katsina state.

The seized drugs were taken to the state command for processing and investigation.

Although the drug is not illegal but some Nigerians have abused cough syrup in a bid to get high - hence the tight scrutiny from security operatives.

Na so cough dey worry dem for Kano reach

How dare the ndlea try such in bubu home land dont they know that that is what they want to use for the next election

OMG,if these have entered the market and was sold, imagine how many lives would been destroyed through drug addiction?

Oh My God. Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi rajiun

Codeine is North drugs

Sharia bans the tapping of home made Palmwine and allows the smugling of Hard Drugs. Hypocrisy No. 1

Codeine is like breàstmilk to the herdsmen.

Cows and codeine

A match made in heaven

Those peeps take codeine like water.

Hian

No alcoholic drinks but they take drugs like pure water, snuff rubber, snuff gutter, pop pills as if they are licking vitamin c. Who is deceiving who self?

Eyya so this is how katsina people are suffering from Cough

Codeine my love

Three times that enters the northern market on a weekly basis... And it's not enough
So save your OMG for something else

Don’t drink beer but you can drink a carton of codeine and pop a dozen pills of tramadol..beer is haram but tramadol and codeine isn’t..sharia logic 101...oh! While at it you can burn a dozen sticks of cigarette too.

.mm

Even in Buhari's home state.

OK. But wait, how does it affect them (NDLEA) if they get high?

Its clear why some posters from that part of the country are highly irrational.

I have stopped arguing with these sets of people on nairaland.

Not everyone is sane on Nairaland

I think it should suffice say that KANO is officially codeine crazy.

gud

I guess you're already high

Even in Buhari's home state. No wonder they're quickly become violent.

igbo dey sell am and hausa fulani dey take am

:DW

One guy bought 70 bottles of the drugs for his birthday party and I was just there thinking of What useful item I could use 70k to buy.

BlackPantherxXx:
There's definitely a Chukwu or an ifeanyi involved in the supply chain.

Come & collect $1 if you investigate and I am wrong

You mean buharichukwu Muhammaduchukwu

So convenient for you to turn the story to suit your biased mind.

The way these northerners drink codeine baffles me. Every one of them, kids, men,women,the elderly, the disabled. Wow, just wow

There is this igbo guy in my neighbourhood who owns a patent medicine store. This guy has made millions selling the stuff, ruining hundreds of young people's lives in his mad rush for illicit riches. He has been arrested by the NDLEA several times but somehow he always seems able to bribe his way out. I honestly recommend the Indonesian treatment for all drug dealers. Say no to drugs
