NDLEA Launches Weapon Handling Training for Officers

On Monday, Brig Gen Mohammed Marwa, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), inaugurated a weapon handling training course for NDLEA officers at the NDLEA Academy in Plateau State. This course includes training on AK-47 rifles and advanced pistols, aimed at bolstering the agency's tactical capabilities in response to increasingly violent drug cartels.

Marwa noted that the training marks a critical milestone in the agency's 36-year history, driven by the evolving dynamics of the war against drug trafficking in Nigeria. He expressed gratitude to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his commitment to enhancing the agency's operational capacity.

The training program is designed to produce master trainers who will ensure that NDLEA personnel maintain the highest professional standards in weapon handling. Marwa emphasized the importance of safety, discipline, and ethical conduct in the use of firearms, highlighting that every firearm must be treated with seriousness and responsibility.
