Buhari commends Marwa for NDLEA’s smashing of international drug syndicate
President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday commended the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) for the successful operation in smashing an international drug syndicate and recovery of 1,855kg of cocaine.
The President in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, expressed his satisfaction with the operations of the agency in a telephone conversation with the Chairman of the NDLEA, retired Brig. Gen. Buba Marwa, from New York, United States, where he is attending the 77th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA 77).
Buhari declared that the news of the recovery gladdened his heart.
“I deeply appreciate the work that you have put into the eradication of the drug menace.
“It gladdens my heart as I continue to follow the successes achieved under your leadership.
“You have demonstrated over and again that choosing you to lead this fight against wicked merchants of death whose sole aim is to endanger and truncate the future of our youth is a very good choice.
“Please keep up the good work,” the statement read.
The President was cited by Adesina to have said at a meeting with members of his delegation: “Buba Marwa is doing well. Two tonnes of cocaine, that’s a haul.”
