Watch Out For Drug-Laced Sweets In Children’s Bags - NDLEA Warns Parents (Photos)

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has issued a strong warning to parents, advising them to closely monitor their children’s bags and pockets for suspicious-looking snacks.

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.
