NDLEA officers have intercepted a shipment of children’s candies laced with a potent strain of cannabis, destined for sale at a kiddies store in Lagos.
According to the agency’s Public Relations Officer, Femi Babafemi, the importer disguised the illegal product as regular sweets.
Babafemi has however urged parents to be mindful of the snacks their children take to school and bring home.
This was disclosed via a post on the agency’s Public Relations Officer X handle on, Sunday, March 9.
The post reads: “Narco-trends: One of the latest seizures of #ndlea_nigeria officers is candies confirmed to contain strong strain of cannabis.
“The importer shipped them in for sale in his kiddies shop in Lagos where he sells children items, making it look like targeting of school kids.
“Parents let’s stay woke on sweets and snacks our kids take to school or bring home.”
