The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has arrested a 29-year-old man in Kano with 7,000 suspected tramadol capsules.
Spokesman of the command, Sadiq Muhammad-Maigatari, said in a statement on Monday that the suspect was intercepted on Saturday by operatives along the Zaria–Kano Road in the Kwanar Dangora area.
