A 20-year-old man identified as Etim, popularly known as Ratty, has died after he reportedly consumed over a thousand milligram of tramadol in Obaganya Otukpo, Benue State, Daily post reports.
Reports said the victim was rushed to Abba clinic at Ogiri Oko street when he became unconscious after taking the drugs substance on April 30.

“He became extremely weak and couldn’t even say a word throughout his stay at the hospital till he gave up the ghost.”
