Don't Accept To Carry A Luggage You Don’t Know Its Contents - NDLEA Warns Nigerians As Man Is Arrested For Carrying Luggage Containing Hard Drugs

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has issued a renewed advisory to travellers, cautioning them against carrying luggage they did not personally pack or whose contents they are not completely familiar with.

The caution came from the agency’s Director of Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, who shared the message via his X (formerly Twitter) account on Sunday.

Babafemi referenced a recent incident in which a suspect was arrested while attempting to smuggle drugs through an airport.

When interrogated by NDLEA operatives, the suspect admitted that the bag he was carrying did not belong to him.

Babafemi said, “Please listen to the suspect in this video.” He was asked if he packed the bag he was carrying, and he said no, someone gave it to him. As we always warn, never accept to carry a luggage you don’t know its contents if you’re not complicit and an accessory because #ndlea_nigeria will get you”
