The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) has declared that Nigeria is no longer a permissive environment for international drug cartels, citing a surge in arrests, seizures, and convictions driven by reforms within the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).
The UNODC Country Representative, Cheikh Toure, said this on monday in Abuja during the handover of newly constructed audiovisual interview rooms to the NDLEA.
He says that the facilities, equipped with modern interrogation technology, were provided by UNODC with funding support from the United States International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (US-INL).
toure also called for the replication of such modern interrogation systems across NDLEA commands nationwide to strengthen investigative capacity.
