DON’T TAKE LUGGAGE YOU DON’T KNOW ITS CONTENT – NDLEA WARNS TRAVELLERS
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency has warned travellers against taking any luggage that they don’t know its content from anyone while travelling.
The agency’s Director of Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, shared this information via his X account on Sunday.
Justifying his advice, he disclosed that two students, including a PhD student, ran into trouble when bottles of codeine syrup were discovered in luggage they were carrying for a female friend studying abroad.
The statement read, “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.
“They would have been jailed if #ndlea_nigeria 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.”
