One user wrote:
“7 trailer loads of tramadol was said to have passed through the boarder and was intercepted at Alaba-rago.
“I think that was the reason for the temporary closure of the border.”
Another user corroborated the story, writing:
“There was an intel about a cartel smuggling banned pharmaceutical products like Tramadol, Codeine and others into Nigeria.
“As a result, a joint task force was set up to apprehend the goods and the suspects. All borders are on a shut down in the whole country.”
The closure continued on Wednesday morning, with Nigerians attempting to cross over from Benin Republic into Nigeria.
The federal government has not released a statement on the closure.
