Billionaire drug baron behind the N3billion Tramadol deal involving the embattled suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari-led Intelligence Response Team, IRT, Chief Afam Mallinson Emmanuel Ukatu has been arrested by operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA.

After months of surveillance and evading arrest, Ukatu who is Chairman of Mallinson Group of Companies was eventually nabbed onboard a flight to Abuja at the MM2 terminal of the Lagos airport, Ikeja on Wednesday 13th April.

Investigations reveal hes been a major importer of large consignments of different brands and high dosages of Tramadol Hydrochloride, ranging from 120mg, 200mg, 225mg and 250mg, all of which are illicit. Ukatu owns pharmaceutical and plastic manufacturing companies, which he used as a cover to import illicit drugs into Nigeria. This is in addition to operating 103 bank accounts, most of which are used to launder money.

Ukatu came under watch last year after five cartons of Tramadol 225mg were seized from his staff on 4th May 2021 when he sent them to sell to undercover police officers (unknown to Ukatu) from the then Kyari-led IRT of the Nigeria Police, Ikeja Lagos. The price of a carton of Tramadol was negotiated at N17million each as against the then black market value that ranged between N18million and N20million a carton in Lagos.

After the arrest of Ukatu's staff: Pius Enidom and Sunday Ibekwete, Kyaris men were then led by the suspects to Mallinson's warehouse at Ojota in Lagos where 197 additional Cartons of Tramadol 225mg were seized by the IRT Team. The monetary value of the 202 cartons of Tramadol seized from Mallinson in one day was over N3billion.

Three weeks after the seizure, the Kyaris IRT team transferred only 12 Cartons of the Tramadol with one truck and a suspect to the Lagos Command of the NDLEA, leaving 190 cartons unaccounted for. After over eight months of following the lead, anti-narcotic officers of the Agency eventually arrested Ukatu at the Lagos airport on 13th April 2022. Kyari and four top members of his team are already facing trial for a different but similar offence at a Federal High Court in Abuja.

Mods needs to be checking front page before pushing threads to front page. This very thread made front page some minutes ago, another mod just login to nairaland now and push this one to front page. E be like say Mods here de even beef themselves.

Ok... like someone clearly predicted...

Abba Kyari's drug case is just for digression... They're scared of extraditing him...

Probably, the goons involved in the saga are top officials.

.The drug case will later vindicate him and he will be restored back to office when FBI must have taken him off the radar....

Smart move

This is sheer stupidity
Always try connect your head to your brain, it doesn't cost much
Nansense

Operating 103 accounts...?? And me that have just 5 account is here thinking it's too much.

A wise man told me last week and I quote "There are 420 ways of making legit money, 1 is by handwork while the remaining is 419"

These Igbos aren't industrious, they're largely criminals.

it is quite funny when underground drug barons call themselves CEOs

Let the law take its course. What’s with this media trial when he’s not even been charged to court.

They will still come out band say he was not involved and pay him 500 million for damages. This I know. Nigeria.
