Sadiq Muhammad Maigatari, the agency’s Public Relations Officer, disclosed that the warning follows reports of the suspicious sweets being distributed in the state. He stressed the need for parents to closely monitor their children’s activities, particularly any unusual behavioral changes.
According to the NDLEA, the sweets, which resemble chocolate, are being sold to unsuspecting children in their schools. Parents are advised to watch for sudden changes in their children’s eating habits and sleeping patterns, as these could indicate exposure to the tainted sweets.
The agency reassured the public that it is actively investigating the source of the harmful products and working to prevent their spread.
