The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has raised the alarm after recent drug seizures in Lagos and Kano exposed the troubling abuse of hazardous substances by youths, disguised under disturbing street names.
The NDLEA’s Director of Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, shared a video of the confiscated contraband on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday.
Among these substances are new psychoactive drugs and others with scary titles such as “Suck & Die,” “Rubber Solution,” “Dead Man,” and “Gelato.”
Babafemi advised parents, guardians, and community leaders to be watchful and aggressive in detecting and addressing these patterns in their areas of influence.
He said, “Narco-trend update: Parents, shine your eyes! Latest seizures by @ndlea_nigeria officers in Lagos and Kano reveal scary names of some substances, including NPS, we should all watch out for in our homes and communities: Suck & die, rubber solution, dead man, gelato.”
