NAFDAC Seizes 35 Containers Of Tramadol At Ports by Easzy96(m): 5:28am On Jun 11, 2018 |
The Director General, National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control ( NAFDAC ) , Prof . Moji Adeyeye , says the agency has seized no fewer than 35 containers of tramadol at various ports in the country . Adeyeye told the News Agency of Nigeria ( NAN ) in Abuja yesterday, that nine out of the seized containers of tramadol were released to NAFDAC by the Nigeria Custom Service ( NCS) , and had been destroyed by her agency . “We are seriously working with the custom on this and each time they seize any container, they usually invite us to come and see the containers with tramadol . “So far , 35 containers were seized and only nine of them have been handed over to NAFDAC which we have destroyed ,” she said . She, however , decried the delay by the custom in handing over the rest of the containers to her agency . The NAFDAC boss stated that tramadol was a restricted drug but had been abused by Nigerian youths who use it without prescription . According to Adeyeye , who is also a professor of pharmacology, the drug destroys children’ s brain thereby threatening the future generation of the nation . She lauded the present administration for placing an embargo on codeine , which she said , like tramadol , should only be given by prescription as done in advanced country . The director general said the agency was more determined and committed than ever to stem the menace of illicit and fake drugs in the country .
