The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA has appointed and decorated Musiliu Akinsanya popularly known as MC Oluomo, National Union of Road Transport Workers, NURTW, Lagos State branch, as the Ambassador of War Against Drug Abuse(WADA) in Lagos, on Friday.
Mr Calleys Alumina, NDLEA Lagos commander said the partnership with the NURTW boss is crucial to tackle the use of illicit drugs in the state.
Mr Mallum Musa, NDLEA spokesperson said “the NURTW is critical in the war because they are service contractors, who provide transportation for human beings, goods and services in the country. The union must conduct proper check on all loads in their vehicles before embarking on any trip.
“These merchants of illicit drugs mostly use vehicles to transport the illicit goods across the country and even beyond,”
MC Oluomo said he doesn’t smoke and doesn’t allow people smoke around him “No member will covene illicit drugs again to make quick money, knowing that when the law catches up with the person the end is not good because such person will go to jail and the vehicle will be forfeited to the government.”
