Speaking at the inauguration of an operational facility for crime investigation built for the NDLEA by UK Government, Marwa said the agency also seized more than 7,561 tonnes of illicit substances during the period. “I must express our deepest gratitude to the British government for its unwavering commitment and invaluable contributions to our cause.
