Be on the look-Out For Drug-Laced Sweets In Children’s Bags, NDLEA Tells Parents

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency has issued a stern warning to parents, urging them to be vigilant about suspicious-looking snacks in their children’s bags and pockets.




In a post shared by the agency’s spokesperson, Femi Babafemi, on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, he cautioned that some recent seizures revealed hard drugs being disguised as everyday treats.




“Narco-trend: Parents, please pay attention to those substances that look like sweet, chocolate, candy, or biscuit in the pockets and bags of your children,” Babafemi wrote.

They come in colourful & attractive wraps names, but they’re destiny destroyers, as seen in sm latest #ndlea_nigeria seizures.”




The agency says these deceptive drug products were uncovered in some of its latest seizures, reinforcing the urgent need for parental awareness and early intervention.
