The agency’s Commander, Mr. Misbahu Idris, said on Saturday that the seized consignments were concealed in 69 cartons at an uncompleted building at the Tamaje area, Eastern bye-pass road, Sokoto.
He said, “We got intelligence reports that the consignments had been sealed at the abandoned, uncompleted building.
”Certainly, that was just done as a ploy as the consignments would have been re-distributed across the state.
”We have already arrested the owner of the consignments and he is now in our custody; he will be Arraigned soon.
”This is a very obnoxious act and there is no business that can fetch such money swiftly, but we are determined to put any Shylock and unpatriotic businessman or woman out of the deadly market.”
Idris vowed to conduct further and thorough investigations on the unbecoming development.
The cough syrup, especially the one with codeine was one of the commonly abused drug by both young men and women in the state.
The syrup was being used as intoxicant if abused and could cause adverse effects on both the user and the society.

What is actually wrong with this NDLEA of an agency? Why not give us the name of the syrup so Nigerians can stay off it in the market? Do you think those cartons you seized is all they produced or trying to distribute? When you seized such products give names to create awareness. Only God knows how you people operate.
