NDLEA begins probe of operatives aiding drug barons

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, is currently investigation some of its operatives for alleged fraternity with suspected drug syndicates.

The Chairman/Chief Executive of the NDLEA, Colonel Muhammad Mustapha Abdallah (rtd), said this yesterday at its national headquarters in Ikoyi, Lagos.

Abdallah warned that any officer who engaged in acts of compromise and fraternity with drug barons shall be made to face the full weight of the law.


“The Agency is currently investigating some of its personnel deployed to man some sensitive beats/points for fraternising with barons and related organised criminal syndicates to frustrate the efforts of the Agency in the smooth execution of its statutory mandate.

“Accordingly, any officer found culpable will be decisively dealt with and made to face the full weight of the law.?

“The anti-corruption crusade of Mr. President is a collective responsibility.

“Those that are saddled with the responsibility of dismantling drug syndicates must live above board.


“We must remain focussed and result oriented in line with our mandate.

“The position of the law is very clear on this matter because it states that anyone that conspires with, aids, abets, counsels, attempts to commit or is an accessory to any act or offence referred to in the NDLEA Act shall be guilty of an offence.”

Abdallah therefore urged officers to subject themselves to the rules of engagement as no one shall be spared for violating the provisions of the Act.

“The war against narcotics must be prosecuted on the platform of integrity, hardwork and sacrifice”, he said, adding that outcome of the investigation will be made public.
