Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Brig.-Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (retd.), has explained why he along with the directors, men and officers of the agency, took a surprise drug integrity test.
The agency’s officials were taken unawares when, upon resumption on Monday, the gates to the headquarters were shut and everyone asked to gather in batches at the conference hall.
A team of medical doctors, led by the Medical Director of Synapse Services, Dr. Vincent Udenze, a consultant in addiction psychiatry, was on the ground their equipment for urine drug test.
A statement yesterday in Abuja by the agency’s Director of Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, said shortly before he took his test, Marwa said the impromptu examination was meant to ensure that charity begins at home.

“We cannot be asking others to undergo drug test without submitting ourselves for the same. Coming out clean and negative gives us the moral authority to conduct the test on others. The essence of also taking everyone by surprise and inviting external medical personnel to conduct the test is to further strengthen the validity of the exercise,” Marwa said in the statement.
Babafemi added: “The test results already released by the medical team showed that Gen. Marwa returned negative along with the Secretary to the agency, Barrister Shadrack Haruna, and other directors at the national headquarters of the NDLEA.”
