The Chairman/Chief Executive Officer, National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) Brig.- Gen Mohamed Buba Marwa (rtd), has said the new partnership between the agency and Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) of Ghana should serve as a warning to drug cartels who seek to destabilise the West Africa sub-region with illicit drugs.
Marwa stated this at the agency’s headquarters in Abuja yesterday when he received a delegation from NACOC led by its Director-General, Brig-Gen Maxwell Obuba Mantey on a benchmarking visit and study tour of NDLEA’s operational model.

“Let this visit serve as a warning to those who seek to destabilise our societies with illicit drugs: Nigeria and Ghana stand united. We will continue to innovate, collaborate, and dominate the tactical space until our streets and communities are safe,” the NDLEA boss stated.
He said the visit is a testament to the longstanding cooperation between the two nations and a clear signal that the bond between Nigeria and Ghana remains a cornerstone of regional security in West Africa.
“The threat posed by transnational organised crime, particularly drug trafficking and its associated money laundering activities, knows no borders. As we have seen, the evolution of these threats requires a response that is not only robust but also deeply collaborative.
