NDLEA CONFISCATES DRUG-LACED CANDIES FROM LAGOS CHILDREN’S SHOP OWNER (PHOTOS)
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, in a recent operation, says it uncovered a shipment of cannabis-infused candies intended for sale in a children’s store in Lagos.
The agency’s spokesperson, Femi Babafemi, revealed this in a Sunday post on X.com, accompanied by photos and a video.
According to Babafemi, the candies, which were imported and branded as sweet treats for children, were found to contain a potent strain of cannabis, raising serious concerns about the safety of children’s snacks.
He wrote: “Narco-trends: One of the latest seizures by #ndlea_nigeria officers is candies confirmed to contain a strong strain of cannabis.
“The importer shipped them in for sale in his kiddies’ shop in Lagos, where he sells children’s items, making it seem as though school kids were the target.”
He also urged parents to be vigilant in monitoring their children’s snacks, saying: “Parents, let’s stay alert to the sweets and snacks our kids take to school or bring home.”
