Drug Trade and Security Challenges
Amidst this call for Kyari’s release, the Nigerian Army has arrested suspects trying to bribe troops with N12 million. Moreover, the suspects were found in possession of various illicit drugs.
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) is currently seeking assistance from the state government to tackle this drug-related issue. According to the 2021 World Drug Report, Nigeria faces a potential surge in drug users.
The NDLEA has already secured 11 convictions against drug dealers and continues to investigate to arrest and prosecute other suspects.
