The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency has issued strict warning to travellers not to take any luggage that they don’t know its content from anyone while travelling.
NDLEA Director of Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, gave the warning in a state shared via his X handle on Sunday.
He gave this warning in reaction to an incident where two students, including a PhD student, ran into trouble when bottles of codeine syrup were discovered in luggage they were carrying for a female friend studying abroad.
“A PhD student and another student studying abroad got into custody because bottles of codeine syrup were found in the luggage they picked for their female friend abroad.
“They would have been jailed if #ndlea_nigeria had not worked hard to ensure the owner was put on the next flight home.
“Reason why we warn you not to take any luggage you don’t know its content from anyone.
“Video shows how bags of opioids were concealed among spare parts coming from Onitsha heading to Mubi in Adamawa,” NDLEA wrote
