The Chairman and Chief Executive of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Ahmadu Giade has warned Nigerians deported from the United States on drug related offences not to rubbish the image of the country.
He gave the warning when 19 deported drug peddlers that arrived at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport (MMIA) last Thursday were picked up by the Agency and transferred to its headquarters in Ikoyi, Lagos.
The deportees were Elabor Francis, 68; Nwachia Hypolitus, 48; Innocent Omorogie, 35; Omozua Emmanuel Omoruyi, 26; Tommiwa Kolly Jas, 40; Ogunsanwo Ogunniran, 29; Ani Humphrey Chiedozi, 50; Lawal Shamsudeen, 49; Akinsola Rashida Olayinka, 46 and Adebayo Emmanuel, 46.

"There are Nigerians that have made the country proud in the United States; we will therefore resist any attempt for a select few to indulge in ignoble acts such as drug trafficking," Giade said.
Preliminary investigation report conducted by the NDLEA showed that the deportees had served various jail terms ranging from five months to sixteen years.
Among the deportees, six are from Lagos State while three are from Edo and Imo states respectively. Two are from Ogun State while Anambra, Enugu, Ekiti, Kwara and Oyo states have one each.
