Tonto Dikeh fumes, lashes out at NDLEA for announcing Naira Marley as an Advocate against drug abuse
  • Furious flames engulf actress Tonto Dikeh as she vents her rage towards NDLEA’s decision to appoint Rapper Naira Marley, renowned for his smoking habits, as an ambassador.
  • The Actress perceives this move as a flagrant disregard for the agency’s principles, and is expressing her vehement objection.
  • The development was announced by Femi Babafemi, the spokesperson of the anti-drug and anti-narcotic agency, on his Twitter page on Thursday, August 17.

Nollywood Actress Tonto Dikeh has vehemently kicked against (NDLEA) Nigeria Drug Law Enforcement Agency’s decision to sign Rapper Naira Marley as an advocate of the War Against Drug Abuse (WADA), a campaign launched by the anti-drug agency.

The ‘Mafo’ crooner paid a visit to the Abuja headquarters of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) on Thursday, where he met with the Chief Executive Officer, Buba Marwa, to declare support for the campaign against drug abuse.

On Thursday, August 17, the agency spokesperson Femi Babafemi wrote;

“See who’s on board ⁦@ndlea_nigeria⁩ War Against substance Abuse, WADA, advocacy campaign; it’s your fav, Naira Marley. Watch out for the video of his message to Marlians and Nigerian youths here tomorrow,”

”I will like to urge my fans, the Marlians, all Nigerian youths to stop doing drugs because it is not good for your wellbeing, let’s all stop substance abuse in every form, I have keyed into this campaign to support NDLEA to stop drugs in the streets. Please join us. It is really not good; it makes you go back into crime.”
