Drug Free World Africa Commends NDLEA for Foiling Drug Smuggling at Seme Border

Drug Free World Africa has commended the operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) for the arrest of a woman who attempted to smuggle tramadol by concealing the illicit substance beneath a simulated pregnancy at the Seme Border.

In a video currently circulating on social media and monitored by Drug Free World Africa Media, the suspect confessed to transporting the consignment from Kano State to the Republic of Benin. She further alleged that her involvement in the drug trafficking operation was facilitated by her cousin, who introduced her to the network responsible for the crime.

Reacting to the development, the Country Representative of Drug Free World Africa, Dr. Lina Okereke, described the arrest as a strong demonstration of the NDLEA’s vigilance and commitment to safeguarding Nigeria’s borders and protecting the public from the dangers of illicit drugs.

Dr. Okereke urged relevant authorities to intensify investigations to uncover and dismantle the entire trafficking network, stressing that all individuals connected to the criminal enterprise must be brought to justice in accordance with the law.

She further emphasized that the fight against drug abuse and trafficking can only be won when all stakeholders, government agencies, civil society organizations, communities, and individuals, work collaboratively and remain resolute in confronting the menace.


Drug Free World Africa reaffirmed its commitment to supporting anti-drug campaigns through advocacy, education, and strategic partnerships aimed at creating a drug-free society.
