Meanwhile, the NDLEA continued its War Against Drug Abuse (WADA) campaign across the country, holding sensitisation sessions in secondary schools, religious institutions, and workplaces.
The outreach covered Aroje/Abaa Community High School, Ogbomoso (Oyo State); Amazing Flower Secondary School, Ikorodu (Lagos); Government Day Secondary School, Ilelah (Sokoto); and several others across Kano and Jigawa States.
The NDLEA Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Brigadier General Mohamed Buba Marwa (retd.), commended officers of the MMIA, Lagos, Kaduna, Edo, Kwara, Ogun, Taraba, Ondo, Seme, and Bauchi Commands for their professionalism and resilience.
“The NDLEA will continue to target and dismantle every identified drug syndicate in any part of Nigeria.
“We will also ensure that offenders forfeit all traceable assets to the Federal Government. Our fight is not only to seize drugs but to cripple the economic base of these criminal networks,” Marwa said
