NDLEA officer bags seven years imprisonment for aiding trafficker

A former officer of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) is to serve a seven-year jail term for aiding a suspected drug trafficker. The Federal High Court, Abuja, on Thursday, sentenced Ibrahim Muazzam to seven years imprisonment for aiding a suspected drug trafficker, Eni Eze Itu, now at large to export 3.7kg of heroin at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.

Delivering the judgement, Justice Balikisu Bello Aliyu said that even though the NDLEA was unable to prove the case of conspiracy against the accused, she was satisfied that there were enough evidence to convict him. Muazzam, an Assistant Superintendent of Narcotics on grade level 8 had pleaded guilty to the charges and the NDLEA had already dismissed him from service.
