NDLEA anti-narcotics officials runs with seized drugs

Two officials of the National Drug Law Enforcement ‎Agency, NDLEA, who absconded with drugs seized last month, have been declared wanted by the authority.

They are Daniel Goska, ‎a Superintendent of Narcotics, and Ndubuisi Ughor, a Chief Narcotic Agent.

The pair were said to have suddenly disappeared after a drug suspect, Dayson-Eddie Ifeanyichukwu, was caught with 74.4 kilogrammes of banned drugs at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu.

According to a statement put out on Monday by the NDLEA, they were both last seen on duty at the Enugu Airport on August 7 and have now been absent for 21 days.

Ahmadu Giade, NDLEA’s chairman, said any staff indicted under the law would be treated equally.

“The agency has taken necessary steps by stopping the salaries of the officers and declaring them wanted.

“Winning the war against illicit drugs demands that while dislodging drug cartels; we must ensure that members of staff comply with best practice at all times.

“Efforts are ongoing to charge the officers in line with the rules of engagement. The agency is moving forward and will continue to purge itself of undesirable persons who are deficient in discipline and integrity.”
