Heartless hard drug merchants have transformed their drug of choice tramadol, remaking it to look like chocolate.

The transformed drug is known as Tafrodol. It comes in 200mg.

Eagle-eyed NDLEA operatives seized the new drug variant at Lagos airport and other places last week, NDLEA spokesman Femi Babafemi said in a Facebook post.

“Its outward look alone is scary, not to talk of the harm it’s capable of wreaking on human organs. #SayNoToDrugAbuseAndTrafficking”, Babafemi wrote.
