The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has suggested stiffer penalties for drug trafficking by removing the option of fines for drug offenders

The suggestion was contained in a statement issued by the agency’s spokesman, Femi Babafemi.

The chairman noted that it is worrisome that some of the NDLEA officers lose their lives in the course of battling with drug traffickers and at the end of the day when taken to court, they are fined and later return to the same business. Marwa further explained that an aggressive reduction in drug supply should be embarked on, stressing that the drug problem in Nigeria is massive.

The chairman explained that as the chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee for the Elimination of Drug Abuse, he had a clear view of the situation and what should be done to reverse the trend.
