The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) is alerting parents and guardians what to watch out for with their children next time.
The drug law agency gave the warning in the wake of the recovery from a mansion in Lekki Lagos, illicit drugs worth over N5.8bn.
The agency disclosed that the mansion was being used as a stash house for assorted narcotics packaged in colourful designer sachets targeted at young people.
Giving details of the recovery, via an X post today, NDLEA spokesman, Femi Babafemi, said the seized substances were recovered during a weekend operation by NDLEA operatives.
“These are some of the items recovered from a mansion used as stash house in Lekki Lagos where over N5.8 billion worth of illicit drugs were seized by #ndlea_nigeria officers at the weekend.
“That’s the much saved from getting into our homes by those targeting our children with illicit substances packaged in designer sachets like the ones in these pictures. In case, you see anything like this in your wastebasket at home, seek help for your young ones at home immediately.”
