Don’t take unknown luggage from anyone, NDLEA warns Nigerians
Femi Babafemi, Director of Media & Advocacy at the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), recently disclosed a concerning incident involving the apprehension of individuals in possession of codeine syrup.
According to Babafemi on his official X handle, a PhD student and another individual studying abroad were taken into custody after bottles of codeine syrup were discovered in the luggage they were carrying for a female friend overseas.
Babafemi emphasised that this situation could have resulted in imprisonment if the NDLEA had not intervened to ensure the responsible party was promptly sent back home.
He posted “A PhD student and another student studying abroad got into custody because bottles of codeine syrup were found in the luggage they picked for their female friend abroad.
“That’d have been jail if NDLEA had not worked hard to ensure the owner was put on the next flight home Reason why we warn you not to take any luggage you don’t know its content from anyone. Video shows how bags of opioids were concealed among spare parts coming from Onitsha heading to Mubi in Adamawa.”
