Nigerian parents have been urged by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency to be vigilant and check for small, decorative bottles in the bags or pockets of their children.
This was made known in a statement shared by the Director of Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, on Sunday.
He revealed that the bottles are reportedly being used to package a substance known as Loud/Colos, particularly among youths in the affluent areas of Lekki, Ikoyi, and Victoria Island in Lagos, adding that the substances are sold at a considerable price, with each bottle fetching around 15,000 Naira.
He wrote, “Heads up to parents. Please watch out for these fanciful small bottles in the bags/pockets of your kids.
“They’re now being used to package Loud/Colos for our youths, especially those in the Lekki/Ikoyi/VI axis of Lagos.
“Each goes for 15k. #ndlea_nigeria already making arrests & seizures”
