NDLEA Boss, Marwa Confirms Undergoing Surgery In London Hospital
The Chairman of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (Rtd) has confirmed undergoing a surgical procedure in a London hospital.
He made the confirmation in a chat with reporters after a meeting with a French delegation at the NDLEA Headquarters, Abuja on Thursday.
Marwa disclosed that he had an operation recently to treat a lower back injury suffered during his sporting activities in the Nigerian Army.
The NDLEA boss said that he was an active member of the Nigerian Army athletics team in the 1970s when he participated in the long jump and triple jump events and hockey respectively.
He said: “Indeed, I recently had surgery for long-standing lower back pain that was due to my sporting activities in my younger years in the Nigerian Army. Aside from being an avid polo player, I was an active member of the Nigerian Army athletics team in the 1970s when I participated in the long jump and triple jump events and hockey as well.”
Marwa, however, said he has since returned to work to continue his vision of strengthening the agency and the mission of curbing drug trafficking and abuse in the country.
“As we speak, the assignment is on course and that’s the essence of the meeting with officials of Smiths Detection today,” he added.
