That drug agency boss just dropped some wild arrest numbers. NDLEA chairman Buba Marwa announced the agency captured over seventy seven thousand suspects, including more than a hundred major traffickers. Officers seized nearly fifteen million kilograms of illegal substances during that period. The agency also secured thousands of convictions for drug offenses.
Marwa made these statements during an awards ceremony in Abuja. He declared the country closed for criminal drug operations, promising continued aggressive action. The chairman credited intelligence-led missions and clear performance goals for the results.
Beyond arrests, the agency focused on demand reduction through treatment programs. Tens of thousands of users received professional counseling and rehabilitation. The NDLEA also conducted widespread public sensitization events under its WADA initiative across communities and schools.
Marwa expressed gratitude for support from the presidency, noting an extended mandate. He vowed to intensify the fight against substance abuse and trafficking. The chairman framed past successes merely as a foundation for escalated efforts.
