Babafemi also warned Nigerians, especially women, to exercise extra caution when buying or receiving cosmetic products, particularly from unknown sources or questionable online vendors.
The statement said, โLadies beware! It does appear like female lipstick is becoming attractive as an instrument for concealment and trafficking now with yet another consignment of factory fitted female lipsticks stuffed with illicit substances intercepted at MMIA barely a week after #ndlea_nigeria officers uncovered a similar cargo at a courier company in Lagos.โ
