Read Time:1 Minute, 24 Second
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency has announced a relationship with the French Police.
This came as the head of the anti-drug agency, Major General Buba Marwa (retired), praised the Police Nationale de France for its assistance, particularly in the areas of training and gear.
The Police Attaché at the French Embassy in Nigeria, Emmanuel Verin, led a team of French trainers, including Cedric B. and Christophe J., who were in the nation to train a number of the NDLEA officers in special operations, to pay him a courtesy visit on Friday. The team spoke with the NDLEA boss in his office in Abuja.
The NDLEA’s spokeswoman, Femi Babafemi, announced the visit in a statement on Friday and said that Marwa appreciated the French government’s cooperation as one of the anti-narcotics agency’s top partners.
According to Babafemi, Marwa said, “We have received tremendous help from France not only in terms of training but also equipment. The support was capped with my recent visit to France where we received warm reception at all the institutions visited and the training promised was promptly organised. We’re grateful for that and we are looking forward to more collaboration and support.
“In his response, Verin said, “We’re proud to work with the NDLEA because your officers and men are very smart and professional and that’s why you’re getting results, hence, our priority in terms of support for the NDLEA is in the area of training. Our trainers, who have been here to train your men, are specialists and top in the field. We’ll do this for a very long time and we’re glad to work with you.”
