The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has warned travellers against accepting to take along luggage from anyone while travelling without knowing its content.

The agency’s spokesperson, Femi Babafemi, gave the warning in a message on X on Sunday.

According to him, “A PhD student and another student studying abroad got into custody because bottles of codeine syrup were found in the luggage they picked for their female friend abroad.

“They’d have been jail if NDLEA had not worked hard to ensure the owner was put on the next flight home.

“Reason why we warn you not to take any luggage you don’t know its content from anyone.
