While stressing that bandits carry out their heinous deeds under the influence of narcotics, Marwa, who spoke through the Agency\u2019s Zonal Commander on Narcotics, Zone J, Parah Julius Bawa, maintained that the feat can be achieved through collaborative efforts.<\/p>\n

The NDLEA boss said this in Akure, the capital of Ondo State while presenting Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu with the agency\u2019s Grand Patron title and Commander of the Amotekun Corps in the state.<\/p>\n

While assuring the state of necessary collaborations to combat drug abuse, Marwa said the agency will not back down until drug wars and criminal activities are brought under control.<\/p>\n
