The Nation Newspaper Drug war: NDLEA will deploy personnel in 774 LGAs in 2024 – Marwa
, Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa , has said that the anti-narcotics body will deploy personnel in all 774 local government areas of the country in 2024.
He said with the agency’s staff strength expected to rise to 15,000 by the end of the year, the next “development is to deploy in the LGAs. We currently have zonal commands, state commands, and area commands. We want to go to the LGAs for the offensive action and the advocacy work. “This involves going out to seize all drugs cultivated, imported, or on the verge of being exported out of the country. Over 6,668 tons of illicit substances have been seized in two years, and we assure that we will continue relentlessly until the streets are clean of drugs. This is the drug supply reduction aspect, where we arrest the perpetrators of the act, and over 36,096 suspects have been arrested and more than 6,043 already prosecuted and convicted within this period.
Speaking earlier, Governor Radda said he was at the Agency as part of his government’s efforts to solve the problem of insecurity facing the state. “This synergy is important and I recognize that the NDLEA has been making a lot of efforts in supporting the government. But we still need more support from the Chairman/Chief Executive to stop the movement of drugs and ensure the arrest and prosecution of dealers in the state.
