Since February 2022, a man who is known to be Nigeria’s main importer of massive consignments of various brands and heavy dosages of Tramadol Hydrochloride has been on the run.

The man was behind the N3 billion Tramadol deal, which involved the Intelligence Response Team (IRT), led by the suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police Abba Kyari.

This man we are talking about is Chief Afam Mallinson Emmanuel Ukatu, 60, of Anambra State, who was arrested by the NDLEA at the MM2 terminal of the Lagos International Airport, Ikeja, on Wednesday, April 13 and booked into the custody of the federal law enforcement agency.

He’ll face charges in Abuja’s Federal High Court for a different but related crime to that of Abba Kyari.
