Nigeria anti-drug agency the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency through its spokesperson Mitchell
Ofoyeju said they were taking covert steps to monitor specific Nigerian
celebrities moving in and out of the country but he did not reveal the names of
such celebrities.
Ofoyeju said, “We have
some people we are working on but it is not for us to say who is under our
surveillance. The purpose of the investigation will become defeated. We have
some credible leads that we are working on.
“This is not to say the
NDLEA is relaxing its surveillance on ordinary Nigerians or other categories of travelers to ensure the eradication of drug trafficking in this country.
“You need to remember
that the agency is an elite organisation that works basically through
investigation. We don’t totally discountenance rumors but such must have some
leads we can work on.”
He added that the
increasing successes of the agency’s war against drug trafficking was the main
reason the United States removed Nigeria’s name from the list of “drug major
states.
Ofoyeju said “Everybody
must be subject to the law of the land. Investigations that have to do with
celebrities could take a long time depending on the mode of operation. It is a
gradual process.”
