President Muhammadu Buhari has reacted to the recent
successes recorded by the operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement
Agency (NDLEA) in smashing some international drug cartels.
Buhari, according to his spokesman, Femi Adesina, called
from the United States to congratulate Brig. Gen. Buba Marwa (retd), on the
achievements.
The agency, in its recent operations, smashed an
international drug syndicate and recovered 1,855kilograms of cocaine.
Buhari is currently in New York, United States, where he is
attending the 77th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA 77).
Buhari said the news of recent successes recorded by the
agency under the supervision of Marwa, gladdens his heart.
“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,” Buhari said, according to
Adesina.
Buhari said that the Chairman has demonstrated that
appointing him to head the agency was not a mistake, urging him to keep the
good work.
According to the statement, 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.”
Recall that 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.
