The Nigerian Government Should Monitor The Anti-Drug Agency - Anti-Drugs
At the same time that awareness is being raised for the celebration of World Anti-Drug Trafficking Day, the agency reported that it has detained a significant number of habitués.
According to Nigeria's Anti-Narcotics Agency, a significant challenge in the fight against drug addiction is the difficulty in obtaining scientific proof that reveals the defendants' drug use when they are prosecuted. She carries it out.
At the same time that awareness is being raised for the anniversary of the World Day against Drug Abuse and Trafficking, the agency claims to have detained numerous people who engage in this behaviour.
Nigeria is one of the nations in the globe that is fighting against drug usage and trafficking because of the negative impact they have on society, especially at this time when insecurity is a problem for the populace.
The Anti-Drug Commission said that it upholds its obligations and is succeeding in several states under the direction of its head, Muhammad Buba Marwa.
The commission has detained 247 people since January 2022 and has successfully seized drugs totaling nearly two million kilogrammes in Sokoto state alone. They suffer difficulties when they bring offenders to justice, with the exception of Iro Adamu Muhammad, the commander of the commission in Sokoto.
However, some Nigerians are making comments over the agency's arrests. What does she do with the things that are captured is another concern. The agency claimed that it is burning the drugs it had collected because leaving them would be detrimental to society.
Even planned to burn some of the commodities they confiscated next month, according to the agency's chief in Sokoto.
Some individuals, such as Nuraddeen Attajiri, an activist against illicit drugs, believe that the Nigerian government should oversee the anti-narcotics agency and give it better resources to strengthen its dedication to work.
The organisation claims that despite the difficulties it faces, it will continue to do its work due of its courageous leaders and employees. However, it is requesting assistance from everyone in order to build a community free from drinking and drug use.
