The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has warned of the circulation of cannabis-infused cookies and gummies that pose potential health risks to the public, particularly children and young people. In a statement released on Sunday, NDLEA's Director of Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, revealed that the agency intercepted two 40-foot containers from the United States during a major operation at the Tin Can Island Port in Lagos.
These containers contained thousands of cannabis-infused sweets and baked goods, estimated to have a street value of N373.8 million. Babafemi emphasized that these illicit products, disguised as colorful, appealing vegan snacks, were discovered alongside legitimate imports such as vehicles, generators, and fabrics. The seized items have been handed over to the NDLEA for further investigation, with the agency advising parents to closely monitor their children's consumption of imported snacks to prevent any potential health dangers.
