NDLEA Issues Urgent Travel Warning: Don’t Carry Unknown Luggage

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has issued a strong warning to all Nigerian travelers: do not accept or carry luggage you did not personally pack or verify. This advisory comes in response to a rising number of cases where unsuspecting travelers were caught transporting illegal drugs unknowingly.

According to NDLEA spokesperson Femi Babafemi, several individuals have been arrested at airports, especially Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos, for being in possession of controlled substances such as codeine syrup, cocaine, and methamphetamine. Alarmingly, some of these cases involved innocent people who agreed to help “friends” or “strangers” with parcels, only to discover too late that drugs were hidden inside.

In one recent incident, NDLEA officials intercepted a suspicious bag containing hard drugs disguised as regular equipment. Another shocking case involved Saudi-bound pilgrims who had ingested drug pellets in an attempt to smuggle them overseas.

Beyond the physical risks at airports, the NDLEA also warned Nigerians about scammers impersonating agency officers. These fraudsters contact families claiming their loved one was arrested for drug trafficking, then demand large bribes for their “release.” The NDLEA has urged the public to ignore such calls and report them to proper authorities.

To avoid trouble, travelers should:

  • Never carry luggage or parcels for others unless you’re absolutely sure of the contents.
  • Keep your bags in sight at all times while at the airport.
  • Refuse requests from strangers or casual acquaintances to transport packages.
  • Contact the NDLEA directly if you receive any suspicious phone calls or messages.

This warning is not just a precaution—it’s a life-saving reminder. Drug trafficking charges can carry serious legal consequences, including long-term imprisonment or worse. Stay vigilant, stay safe, and don’t take chances with unknown luggage.
