The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) organized a refresher training course for its Canine Unit dog handlers, facilitated by German technical dog handling experts Mr. Andreas Roscher and Ms. Jacqueline Shüler. This training aimed to enhance the operational skills of handlers and their service dogs in narcotics detection.
The course took place at the NDLEA Canine Unit Facility in Lagos and involved eleven personnel, including the Unit Commander, two veterinary doctors, and eight dog handlers, along with their service dogs. Additionally, five other officers from Commands within Lagos expressed interest in joining the Canine Unit.
The training covered advanced obedience, narcotics detection techniques, and real-life simulation exercises at various locations, including the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) baggage hall. Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (Rtd), Chairman/CEO of NDLEA, emphasized the importance of canine teams in drug detection efforts and acknowledged the need for more resources for the Canine Unit.
