Newsonspot reports that The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has busted a mansion in the Lekki area of Lagos State where Tramadol was stored.
NDLEA Spokesman, Femi Babafemi, in a terse statement on Monday, said the mansion belonged to a drug baron who is now in custody.
He said the agency recovered 13 million pills of Tramadol 225mg from the mansion.
“Another VGC drug bust! As massive and beautiful as this mansion located in highbrow VGC Lekki Lagos (pictured here) looks, it’s not occupied by humans but used to warehouse over 13 million pills of Tramadol 225mg by another billionaire drug baron now in custody of @ndlea_nigeria. Details coming in a statement shortly,” he said.
It has been revealed that the drug baron is none other than Ugochukwu Nsofor Chukwukadibia.
Ugochukwu who is a native of Ihiala Local Government Area of Anambra State is the Chairman of Autonation Motors Limited.
He has been on the NDLEA ‘s watchlist as one of those behind the tramadol drug cartel in Nigeria.
Preliminary investigation showed that he has about six mansions within the VGC, one of which he uses to warehouse the tramadol consignment, while he lives in the one at Plot Z-130, Road 67 and another as his office.
Five exotic vehicles have also been located in two of his mansions, out of which two SUVs, including a bullet proof jeep, have been successfully removed to the Agency’s facility.
This comes days after the agency busted a warehouse in the Ikorodu area of the state where cocaine was stored.
Details later…
