The public destruction of the illicit substances was witnessed by representatives of government officials, traditional rulers, clergymen, other security agencies, international partners, non-governmental organizations and community leaders, among others.

 

NDLEA set the illicit drugs on fire at an isolated location at Ipara, along Lagos-Ibadan expressway, Ogun State on Saturday.

 

Spokesperson of the anti-narcotic agency, Femi Babafemi said some of the illicit drugs destroyed include 123 kilograms of cocaine; 46.8kg of heroin; 1.4 million kilograms of cannabis; 148,000 kilograms of codeine syrup; 3,244.26 kilograms of tramadol; 1,544 kilograms of skuchies; and 111 kilograms of methamphetamine, among others.

 

Speaking at the occasion, Chairman/Chief Executive of NDLEA, Brig.-Gen. Mohamed Marwa (rtd) said the exercise was a testament to the agency’s steadfast commitment to tackling the scourge of drug trafficking in the country.

According to him

“The sheer volume of seizures, which totals approximately 1.6 million kilograms, serves as a reminder of the grave danger these substances pose to public health until they are completely and irreversibly destroyed.

 

 

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency operates under a clear mandate to reduce these narcotics to rubble. At all times, we discharge this duty with the utmost seriousness and diligence”.

 

He warned those involved in drug trafficking that the times have changed, saying there will be no breathing space or any safe haven for them in Nigeria.

‘’To those still involved in the illicit drug trade, we will persist in reminding them that times have changed. The administration of President Bola Tinubu remains unwavering in its commitment to providing the leadership and political will required to eradicate this menace.

At the NDLEA, we are fully prepared to pursue our objective of holding accountable those who defy the law. In the past four years, we have successfully prosecuted and got convicted 10,572 such offenders, who are now serving various jail terms. “he added.
