Joseph Asikpo, the state coordinator of the agency, made this known at a media briefing in Jalingo on Friday, Premium Times reports According to him, the drugs were evacuated in 20 sacks and seven cartons from some hidden stores in the area.
He said that the Tramadol and Sildenafil combination was an unregistered drug used by people in the area to enhance sexual performance.
“The problems associated with Tramadol alone outweigh its benefits because its indiscriminate use causes serious bodily harm.
