PRESIDENT BUHARI CONGRATULATES NDLEA CHAIRMAN, GEN.MARWA, ON DRUG BUST
On Monday, President Muhammadu Buhari congratulated Brig. Gen. Buba Marwa (retired), the Chairman of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), for the recent, highly successful operation of the Agency that resulted in the dismantling of an international drug syndicate and the recovery of 1,855 kilogrammes of cocaine.

President Buhari expressed his joy at the news of the recovery in a phone call to the head of the anti-drug agency from New York, where he is attending the 77th meeting of the UN General Assembly (UNGA 77).

“I deeply appreciate the work that you have put into the eradication of the drug menace. It gladdens my heart as I continue to follow the successes achieved under your leadership.

“You have demonstrated over and again that choosing you to lead this fight against wicked merchants of death whose sole aim is to endanger and truncate the future of our youth is a very good choice. Please keep up the good work.”

At a meeting later with members of his delegation, the President said, “Buba Marwa is doing well. Two tonnes of cocaine, that’s a haul.”

The NDLEA had announced the “highest cocaine seizure” worth over 278 million dollars and arrest of drug barons including a foreigner in a major operation lasting two days across different locations in Lagos.
