On
The Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice,
Mr Abubakar Malami, SAN, has ordered the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, to suspend its planned screening and documentation exercise for 5,000 new recruits.
Malami said his attention was drawn to a directive the NDLEA gave the 5,000 candidates to appear at its Academy, Citadel Counter-Narcotics Nigeria, CCNN, Katton-Rikkos, Jos, Plateau State for the screening and documentation exercise between January 10 and 23, 2021, at 0900 hours daily.
He described the invitation as “ill-advised and inappropriate given the current and alarming wave of COVID-19 pandemic across the country.”
