Speaking in Lokoja on Wednesday during the public destruction of the seized substances, NDLEA Chairman Brig. Gen.

Providing a breakdown, Marwa revealed that the destroyed substances included 20,000 kg of Cannabis Sativa, 476 kg of Tramadol, 2,393 kg of Codeine-based syrup, and various other narcotics, totaling 25,229 kg.


He highlighted alarming statistics from the 2018 National Drug Use Survey, which showed that 14.3 million Nigerians aged 15-64 abuse drugs, with 10.6 million specifically using cannabis. He emphasized that these figures reflect serious health and security concerns, underscoring NDLEA’s intensified efforts to combat drug abuse since 2021.


Kogi State Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo, represented by State Security Adviser Commodore Jerry Omodara (rtd.), reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to tackling drug abuse in the state.
