Tonto Dikeh knocks Naira Marley for supporting NDLEA’s anti-drug campaign
Popular Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh has blasted Nigerian singer Naira Marley for supporting the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency’s (NDLEA) anti-drug campaign.
Marley, who has been arrested by the NDLEA in the past for drug-related offenses, took to Twitter on Wednesday to pledge his support for the agency’s campaign.
“I support the NDLEA in their fight against drug abuse,” Marley tweeted. “Drugs are bad and they can ruin lives. I urge everyone to stay away from drugs.”
Dikeh, however, was not impressed by Marley’s support for the NDLEA. She took to Instagram to blast Marley, calling him a “hypocrite” and a “drug addict.”
“You are a drug addict and you are supporting the NDLEA?” Dikeh wrote. “That is the funniest thing I have ever heard. You are a disgrace to the Nigerian youth.”
Dikeh’s comments sparked a debate on social media, with some people supporting her and others defending Marley.

Some people argued that Dikeh was right to call out Marley for his hypocrisy, while others said that she was being too harsh.
Marley has not yet responded to Dikeh’s comments.
The NDLEA’s anti-drug campaign has been met with mixed reactions. Some people have praised the agency for its efforts, while others have criticized it for being too harsh.
The campaign has also been marred by controversy. In January, the NDLEA raided a hotel in Lagos and arrested several people, including a popular Nigerian actress. The raid sparked outrage, with many people accusing the NDLEA of harassment.
The NDLEA has denied the allegations of harassment, saying that it is simply doing its job.
