Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency have uncovered illicit drugs hidden in tins of Cerelac baby food.
The agency’s Director of Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, disclosed this in videos shared on X.com on Sunday.
“Not even tins of Cerelac baby food are spared in their desperation to conceal and export illicit drugs,” he wrote.
Although the location of the operation and details of the suspect(s) involved were not disclosed, Babafemi used the opportunity to warn citizens to be cautious when receiving packages from others while travelling.
He also emphasised the risks of unknowingly transporting illegal substances, reminding the public that possession of such substances carries a 15-year jail sentence.
Babafemi added, “This is why we warn people never to accept any package of unknown content from anyone when travelling. Remember, possession means 15 years in jail! Seizures by #ndlea_nigeria.”
