 National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has denied involvement in the sale of its former headquarters in Ikoyi, Lagos.

The anti-narcotics agency, which reacted to an anonymous write up going round on WhatsApp platforms that a certain former chairman/CEO of the agency sold off its headquarters office buildings in Ikoyi, Lagos, leaving officers and men stranded, said the building never belonged to the agency in first place and there was no way any NDLEA chairman could have sold it.

Part of the statement by the NDLEA spokesperson, Femi Babafemi said: “The agency wishes to state that buildings referred to in the circulating piece, which did not belong to it in the first place, served as its national headquarters before its relocation to Abuja some years ago.

“It should be noted that a Presidential Implementation Committee (PIC) on federal government landed properties took over the buildings following a government directive that all vacated or under-utilised government properties be taken over by the PIC, sold and proceeds paid to federal government coffers.

“Like other federal government agencies whose properties were taken over by the PIC, NDLEA has no hand in the sale of the mentioned properties and does not know who bought them and for how much, as the presidential committee solely handled the sale.”

On the staff allegedly stranded in Lagos, the NDLEA said: “At the time of relocation, 70 per cent of the agency’s headquarters staff moved to Abuja while the remaining 30 per cent per cent are still in Shaw road office, Ikoyi.

“This remaining 30 per cent will soon join the main headquarters in Abuja as soon as the new headquarters building, recently bought by the federal government for the agency is ready for occupation.

“The challenge before the agency at the moment is how to remove our officers and men who live within communities where they are exposed to dangers into secure barracks accommodation, a concern already being addressed by the federal government through budgetary provisions for the construction of such barracks across the country beginning from this year.

“Members of the public are therefore urged to disregard the anonymous write up, which is nothing but an embodiment of distortion and mischief.”
