NDLEA dismantles drug syndicates exploiting women in Nigeria

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has announced significant successes in dismantling drug trafficking syndicates that recruit and exploit women in Nigeria. Femi Babafemi, Director of Media and Advocacy, stated that the agency targets not only couriers but also the masterminds behind the operations. Several investigations have led to the arrest and prosecution of syndicate leaders. However, cultural and religious factors sometimes pose challenges to the agency's sensitization campaigns.
