The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency has intercepted a shipment of dangerous psychoactive substances deceptively packaged as green tea.
According to a post on X by the agency’s spokesperson, Femi Babafemi, the discovery was made during a recent operation on Sunday.
The seized items were disguised to appear like regular green tea imports, but their true contents were found to be harmful substances capable of causing severe mental health issues.
Babafemi urged Nigerians to be cautious, stating, “This consignment is a green tea import in packaging on the outside, but if you drink it, you may lose your mind because the real and undisclosed content is psychoactive substances as discovered by NDLEA officers in our latest seizures. Shine your eyes.”
Further investigations are ongoing to trace the origin and intended destination of the illicit shipment.
