NDLEA Incinerates Over 300,000 Kg of Illicit Narcotics in Lagos and Ogun

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has made a remarkable stride in curbing drug trafficking, obliterating over 300,000 kilograms of illicit substances confiscated in Lagos and Ogun states.
In addition to the massive haul, the agency incinerated 40,000 liters of unlawful liquids, delivering a substantial blow to drug-related criminal enterprises in the region.
The seized contraband was set aflame publicly in Badagry, Lagos State, in a visual testament to the agency’s unwavering resolve to purge illegal drugs.
The ceremony was graced by NDLEA Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa, alongside other high-ranking officials, underscoring the agency’s steadfast dedication to its cause.
This monumental eradication underscores the NDLEA’s formidable measures to thwart drug trafficking and misuse across Nigeria.
Eliminating these contraband substances from circulation safeguards local populations from the adverse consequences of substance abuse and related criminality.
Such decisive measures bolster the NDLEA’s standing for rigorous enforcement of anti-drug statutes and send a stern warning to those engaged in the drug trade.
The destruction of these narcotics not only purges them from the community but also serves as a deterrent to would-be traffickers.
The NDLEA’s action in eliminating over 300,000 kilograms of illicit drugs is a clear declaration of its persistent commitment to safeguarding the populace’s welfare and upholding law and order in Lagos and Ogun states.
