Operatives of the National Drugs Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, say they turned down a 10 million naira bribe offered to free one drug suspect, Tsolaye Eburajolo, arrested earlier in Lagos.

This was as the operatives recovered over 26 thousands pills of tramadol as well about 508 thousand bottles of codeine-based syrup worth over 16 billion naira in street value were intercepted by the NDLEA operatives during 100 per cent joint examination of watch-listed containers with men of Nigeria Customs Service and other security agencies at the Tin Can Port in Lagos and Port Harcourt port, Onne, Rivers State between October 22 and 23.

Eburajolo, a 40-year-old man, was arrested at the Ago Palace area of Okota, Lagos in connection with drugs intercepted by the officials.

According to a statement by the agency’s spokesperson, Femi Babafemi, the bribe offered to free the suspect had been added to the exhibits recovered from the suspect.
