During this time, the NDLEA seized 8.6 million kilograms of various illicit drugs and destroyed 1,572 hectares of cannabis farms. Marwa described the large number of arrests and prosecutions as a significant achievement, demonstrating the agency's commitment to fighting drug trafficking.


Rotimi Olasode Martins, Chairman of the Island Club, praised Marwa for his dedication and effective leadership in the battle against drug abuse. He noted that the widespread issue of drug abuse had severely impacted all levels of society, threatening youth, destabilizing families, and undermining the nation’s socio-economic structure.
