The new chairman of NDLEA has described as an unobtrusive goal-getter and quite person with a zeal to deliver results stating that she has the right experience couple with solid academic credentials to give NDLEA a new direction in the fight against illicit drug production and marketing.
Meanwhile,NDLEA had uncovered a suspected drug trafficking cartel at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport in Enugu state and two of its operatives were among the cartel.
The indicted officers are Daniel Goska and Ndubuisi Ughor. They were said to be currently at large and had been dismissed and declared wanted by the anti-narcotic agency.
