The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, Buba Marwa,has said arrests alone cannot defeat drug trafficking without a corresponding effort to seize and recover the proceeds of crime.

Marwa said this on Tuesday while delivering a presentation at the ongoing 43rd Cambridge International Symposium on Economic Crime in the united kingdom.

He says that the ultimate objective should be to deny criminals the proceeds of their crimes promptly and lawfully while preserving the value of seized assets.

Marwa also called for faster international cooperation and stronger cross-border recognition of non-conviction-based forfeiture orders.
