A young man who took an overdose of tramadol in a community
in Benue State, has ended up suffering a tragic fate.
It has been reported that t young man identified as Etim,
believed to be in his late 20s has died after reportedly consuming over a
thousand milligram of tramadol in Obaganya Otukpo, Benue State.
According to Daily Post, it was gathered that Eti, who is
popularly known as Ratty, was rushed to Abba clinic at Ogiri Oko street when he
became unconscious after taking the substance on April 30.
He was pronounced dead on Wednesday after spending three
days at the hospital and was buried the same day.
A source at the hospital hinted that the tramadol dosage he
took was too much for his system to withstand which led to the destruction of
some vital organs.
“He became extremely weak and couldn’t even say a word
throughout his stay at the hospital till he gave up the ghost,’ the source
said.
The Federal Government will surely ban this drug too. It's only a matter of time.
Let everyone, especially students who love to indulge, go cold turkey, since rehab is non-existent in Nigeria.
