The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency has commended some members of the House of Representatives for disagreeing with three of their colleagues over a bill seeking to legalise the cultivation, sale and use of cannabis, also known as marijuana, for commercial purposes.

Gbajabiamila, who presided over the session and had defended the proposal, noted that it must have been opposed due to the word “decriminalize” in the title of the bill, which he said was not there earlier on Wednesday.

Reacting to the development in a statement by the NDLEA Director, Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, on Friday, following an inquiry by our correspondent, the NDLEA boss said the decision by a majority of the lawmakers to reject the bill will further strengthen the gains so far made in the renewed war against drug abuse and trafficking in the country.

Marwa said, “Yet there has never been a government that is more committed to ending this spate of insecurity than the regime of President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari . The President has matched political willpower with resources, but the scope and frequency of these acts of destabilization and the audacity displayed by the perpetrators call for a second, critical look at the malaise.

Crimes committed in places marijuana is sold will go unreported because no witness will come forward, Nigerian law makers are criminals and daft, they're only interested in organ trafficking like Ekweremadu that will rot in a British prison.

Don't render NDLEA staffs jobless. They need perpetrators to get meals. 👽

Only those who haven’t witnessed the adverse effect of hard drug on the youths and growing teenagers would really contemplate on legalizing it’s use in a country like Nigeria that is notorious for abuse. We are naturally poor with regulations.

The Senator that brought up the bill is a suspect.

Speaking with journalists on Wednesday 4bn?😂😂 How standard will such a barracks be? 🤔 Building barracks for them is a bad idea and exposing them to attacks. You need to stop this military mentality, let them live as normal like it’s done elsewhere and will even be great for intelligence gathering.
