The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency has warned the public to remain vigilant after operatives uncovered illicit substances concealed in children’s toys and cassava granules, popularly known as garri.
The agency disclosed this in a statement shared by the Director of Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, on X on Sunday, noting that the discovery highlights the increasingly desperate tactics adopted by drug traffickers to move illegal consignments.
Babafemi said consignments of methamphetamine were concealed inside Hollandia yoghurt packs and MP3 players, a tactic uncovered by NDLEA operatives during recent operations.
Sharing videos, Babafemi wrote, “Narco-trends: FYI, children’s toys and our popular cassava granules (Garri) are not spared in their desperation to conceal and traffic illicit substances. Please beware and take a look at how #ndlea_nigeria officers discovered this👇.”
