The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) issued a stern warning to skit makers over its portrayal of its officers.
Media Director, Femi Babafemi said a trending video of some persons wearing red jackets similar to its operatives’ is not new.
In the skit, four actors were in a small bus, with one holding weed. They soon chased the recorder, suggesting NDLEA personnel were caught in the act.
In a statement on Tuesday, Babafemi recalled the anti-narcotics agency disclaiming the scenario in 2022, advising Nigerians to ignore it.
He lamented that the video produced by Mathew C Eze, who lives in the Lekki area of Lagos, has returned to the social media space.
The spokesperson said the development has led to several enquiries from concerned members of the public on the authenticity.
The NDLEA noted that the confusion created “underscores the need for some social media content producers to show restraintâ€
