NDLEA decries death sentence on Nigerian in Malaysia

The acting Chairman/Chief Executive of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Mrs. Roli Bode-George, has decried the death sentence passed on a Nigerian, Ekene Collins Isaac, by a Malaysian High Court.

Thirty-seven-year-old Ekene was found guilty of smuggling  nine hundred and fifteen-point-six grams of methamphetamine, commonly known as ecstasy or MDMA, into Malaysia three years ago.

In a statement by Ofoyeju Mitchell, the Head, Public Affairs of the NDLEA, Roli however, promised that diplomatic efforts would be explored to save the convict. She assured Nigerians that the agency would maintain total alertness in drug detection operation all through the year.
