The Nigerian National Assembly recently passed a bill that aims to introduce life sentences for those convicted of trafficking in hard drugs, marking a significant step in the fight against drug-related crimes.
The bill also prescribes the death penalty for individuals found guilty of certain drug trafficking offenses, as a part of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) Act Amendment of 2024.
The bill, which has already passed the second reading, aims to strengthen the NDLEA’s operations by empowering the agency to establish laboratories and enhancing penalties for drug offenders.
Lawmakers emphasized the need for harsher penalties due to the devastating impact of drug trafficking on the country’s social and economic well-being.
