Drug Abuse: NDLEA arrests 5,000 offenders, convicts 500 - Punch Newspapers

“These statistics are alarming and are red flags about the need to safeguard the future of the young generation.

“This is to awaken your consciousness to the urgent need for every citizen of Nigeria to support the NDLEA in its efforts to save our country from the menace of abuse and trafficking of illicit substances. “We must attach some urgency to the need to rid our society of the drug menace, that is why we are advocating a new social order where drug test becomes the norms for couples as part of the wedding rites,” he said.

Marwa said the agency was also advocating for drug tests for students that want to gain admission into tertiary institutions and for government employees as part of the employment process and periodic validation of their employment.

I must commend NDLEA and Buna Marwa especially for the great work they're doing. The arrest of 5,000 offenders and conviction of 500 is not a small feat. Thumbs up to ndlea_nigeria .

You can't arrest consumers, all you could do is rehabilitate them. Go after the supplier.

It should be northerners ok

Hope the northerners are part of the people you arrested, because I believe northerners don't use to commit any crime ever since Nigeria has been into assistant.
