Understanding NDLEA’s Defense Against Senator Ashiru’s Criticism
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has described the recent criticisms by Senator Oyelola Ashiru as a vendetta-driven attack.
Senator Ashiru had raised concerns about the agency’s actions, but the NDLEA responded by asserting that his statements were motivated by personal grievances rather than a genuine critique of the agency’s performance.
The NDLEA, in its defense, maintained that its operations are professional and focused on fighting drug trafficking and abuse in Nigeria.
The agency further stated that it remains committed to its mandate of safeguarding the country from the harmful effects of illicit drugs and will not be distracted by unfounded accusations.
It also encouraged public officials to support its efforts rather than undermine them with personal attacks.
This confrontation between the NDLEA and Senator Ashiru appears to stem from deeper issues, with the agency urging the public to view such criticisms through the lens of accountability rather than personal vendetta.
