Mr Babafemi said this came on the heels of the seizure of 10,000 pills of tramadol from another suspect on Wednesday, July 9.
Mr Babafemi said NDLEA operatives intercepted the drugs at the Port Harcourt Ports Complex, Onne, Rivers and the Apapa Seaport, Lagos.
He said the illicit drugs worth N2.1 billion in street value were intercepted in one of the containers watch-listed by the agency based on intelligence.
He said NDLEA operatives in Kano also, on Monday, February 3, arrested two men, both 23 years old, at Gadar Tamburawa on Zaria road.
He said the opioids were recovered in three containers coming from India, targeted by the NDLEA during a 100 per cent joint examination of the cargoes.
In Kogi, NDLEA officers, on a stop-and-search operation along the Okene-Lokoja-Abuja expressway on March 1, intercepted a commercial bus.
