Speaking at the launch of War Against Drug Abuse in commemoration of the United Nations International Day against drug abuse and illicit drug trafficking at the State House in Abuja, Marwa said said his efforts have yielded positive results as over 2,180 traffickers have been arrested, including five drug barons controlling different cartels across Nigeria; a record 2.
“The World Health Organisation on substance abuse also stated unequivocally that cannabis is the most widely used illicit substance in Africa, with the highest prevalence, between 5.2 per cent and 13.5 per cent, found in West Africa. Ladies and Gentlemen, West Africa, by implication, means Nigeria.” Marwa said since his assumption of office, he has constantly campaigned against the abuse of drugs in Nigeria.
Earlier on Monday, the NDLEA boss stressed that he was opposed to demands for the legalisation of cannabis in Nigeria.
