15 million Nigerians high on drugs – NDLEA Boss

Chairman National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Buba Marwa, said no fewer than 15 million Nigerians are using illicit drugs.

Marwa disclosed this on Monday in Port Harcourt during his first familiarisation tour to sister security agencies and stakeholders in Rivers state.

According to him, the country is getting destroyed with the drug scourge.

He said all the criminalities that the country is facing are all being perpetrated by illicit drug users.

“Armed robbery, kidnapping, banditry, insurgency, militancy, rape and other social vices are carried out by illicit drug users.

“Nobody in his right senses will partake in any of these nefarious activities. So if we are able to rid our society of illicit drugs, crime rates would have been drastically reduced in the country,” he noted.
