Nigeria's NDLEA warns public of scammers posing as officers, demanding money for fake arrests of relatives with drugs.
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) of Nigeria has warned the public about a new scam where fraudsters pose as NDLEA officers. The scammers call unsuspecting individuals to report the arrest of their relatives at Nigerian airports with illicit drugs upon arrival in the country. They then demand large sums of money for their release. The NDLEA has thwarted similar situations in the past and advises people not to pay scammers. The agency also urges people to keep their travel plans confidential to avoid falling victim to such schemes.
