The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency has issued a fresh warning to parents and guardians after operatives uncovered a new tactic being used by drug traffickers to move illicit substances.
The alert was announced on Sunday by the agency’s Director of Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, in a statement shared on X (formerly Twitter).
According to the NDLEA, traffickers are now concealing drugs in what look like ordinary flight boarding passes, using the disguise to move dangerous substances, including a drug known as “Colos.”
The agency urged parents, guardians, and members of the public to be extra vigilant, especially regarding packages delivered by dispatch riders, warning that such items could contain harmful drugs.
Babafemi wrote, “These may appear as ordinary flight boarding pass but neatly concealed in them are dangerous substances such as Colos.
“This is one of the new methods of distributing illicit drugs in cities as uncovered by #ndlea_nigeria operatives in Lagos.
“This is another wake up call to parents and guardians to pay attention to what dispatch riders are delivering to their children and wards.
“The merchants of death are getting more disingenuous with their packaging but #NDLEA is surely steps ahead of them.”
