SIR: As I contemplate the state of our nation, I feel compelled to highlight a pressing issue that poses a threat to the very foundation of our society: Drug trafficking. Drug traffickers see these fines as insignificant deterrents. The current NDLEA Act must be reviewed to eliminate the option of fines for drug trafficking offences. We must also address the root causes of drug trafficking, including poverty, lack of education, and unemployment. In conclusion, leniency towards drug traffickers must end now.
