Some aggrieved staff of the National Drugs Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) have intensified their cries and yearning for promotion in accordance with the agency’s guiding principles. The officers recruited in 2005 claimed those employed after them are now their seniors in rank. They alleged that they are still Assistant Superindent of Narcotic 1 instead of Superintendent of Narcotic and Chief Superindent Narcotics despite using 19 years in service.

Marwa, more than marijuana
By Emeka Obasi
Something different must come the way of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) following Ambassador Mohammed Buba Marwa’s appointment as Chairman/ Chief Executive Officer. I saw him resume, wearing shirt and long pants.
Marwa did not storm office in suits or flowing gown, the one a Turkish hotel attendant described as Flying parachute sometime in 1993 when Chief Ernest Shonekan visited Istanbul. An expatriate military instructor at Teshie, Ghana called it pyjamas.
The much I know of the NDLEA is that they are always after Indian hemp farmers, from Abi, Delta State to the bushes of Ondo. Once in a while, they raid brothels in Kano in search of Tramadol and codeine addicts. In Lagos, I believe operatives concentrate on the international airport.
