The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency has cleared the air
on the presence of its operatives at Admiralty Way, Lekki, Lagos State.
The agency, while responding to an enquiry by comedian
Bright Okpocha aka Basketmouth on Saturday, revealed that the stop-and-search
exercise was to “protect residents from the activities of drug dealers and
disrupt supply chain of illicit substances.”
The comedian had tweeted late Friday, “Are you people are
aware of the stop and search going on currently on Admiralty Way in LEKKI by
members of your force? #ndlea_nigeria.”
The response on NDLEA’s X page on Saturday read, “Thanks
#basket_mouth. The men are on authorized duty based on intelligence, their
presence there is not a regular occurrence.
“It’s part of efforts to protect residents from the
activities of drug dealers and disrupt supply chain of illicit substances. The
cooperation of all is key.”
