A rat has reportedly strayed into an exhibit storage room for cannabis in one of the commands of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).
The spokesman of the NDLEA, Femi Babafemi announced the development on his Twitter page on Monday.
He explained that the rat started exhibiting unusual behaviour after it snuck into the exhibit room on Friday.
The rat, which according to Babafemi was under the influence of cannabis, is seen spinning repeatedly.
The NDLEA opined that this should serve as a message to those who are involved in the act of using the drug.
He wrote, “Stray rat gets high on C/S: So this rat on Friday strayed into the exhibit room where cannabis was stored in one of @ndlea_nigeria commands and few minutes after, it began to misbehave.”
“Need I say more? The message is clear. #SayNoToMindAlteringSubstances#”
The NDLEA had recently disclosed that though it is banned, cannabis is the most abused illicit drug in the country and it is currently being used by at least 10.6 million Nigerians.
Cannabis is currently outlawed in Nigeria.
Though there are advocates for it to be legalised, the agency has said the risks outweigh the benefits.
