VIDEOS: NDLEA intercepts lipsticks stuffed with drugs at Lagos airport
Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency have intercepted another shipment of factory-fitted female lipsticks packed with illicit substances at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.
Femi Babafemi, the agency’s Director of Media and Advocacy, disclosed this in a post shared via his X (formerly Twitter) account on Sunday.
Babafemi also warned Nigerians, especially women, to exercise extra caution when buying or receiving cosmetic products, particularly from unknown sources or questionable online vendors.
The statement said, “Ladies beware! It does appear like female lipstick is becoming attractive as an instrument for concealment and trafficking now with yet another consignment of factory fitted female lipsticks stuffed with illicit substances intercepted at MMIA barely a week after #ndlea_nigeria officers uncovered a similar cargo at a courier company in Lagos.”
