The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has uncovered new smuggling methods employed by drug traffickers, who now hide illicit substances inside everyday items such as yoghurt packs and MP3 players.
The revelation was made on Sunday by the agency’s Director of Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, in a post shared on his X handle.
Babafemi explained that NDLEA operatives recently intercepted consignments of methamphetamine concealed in Hollandia yoghurt packs and MP3 players, describing the tactic as part of evolving narco-trends.
He cautioned members of the public to remain vigilant while travelling and advised against accepting parcels or luggage from anyone, whether on local or international trips.
“Narco-trends: When we see how desperate drug traffickers are becoming daily, we’re reminded always to warn law abiding people to avoid collecting any luggage or parcel from anyone on your travels whether local or international.
“The videos shared with this post shows how consignments of methamphetamine were concealed in Hollandia Yogurt packs and Mp3 players as uncovered by #ndlea_nigeria officers. Just take a look and be guided at all times,” he wrote.
