NDLEA Boss, Buba Marwa Vows To Deal With Any Politician Caught Encouraging Illicit Drug Use

The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, Buba Marwa, have warned politicians against sponsoring or encouraging the use of illicit drugs.

Marwa gave this warning during the weekly ministerial briefing at the State House in Abuja.

He stressed that where there was evidence of the involvement of any politician in illicit drug business, the agency would not hesitate to prosecute anyone involved.

 

According to the NDLEA boss, the agency will never support the economic use of cannabis because there is no scientific proof that it heals.

 

He proposed 20 years or life sentence for drug traffickers to replace the option of a fine, as enshrined in the NDLEA Act currently under revision in the National Assembly.
