The Director General of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Femi Ajayi, has attributed the activities of terrorists and suicide bombers to the use of illicit drugs.

The DG, while speaking in Lagos at a public presentation of books on drug abuse  prevention, said no person would undertake a mission to die in an explosion if not under the influence of drugs.

“The impact of drug abuse is far more damaging than some people assume, because it is related to violent crimes. A man under the influence of drugs is as deadly and unpredictable as a mad man playing with a time bomb.” he said

He added that the books will serve as important reference points in a world battling to control drug use among youths.

“We need to educate people on the hazards of narcotics. Public enlightenment is central to drug control,” he said.
