Chisco hails NDLEA for arresting suspected drug pushers

NDLEA

The Management of Chisco Transport Nigeria Limited has commended National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), for arresting and detaining one of its drivers and a receiver, alleged to be in possession of substances suspected to be illicit drugs.

The substances were found in one of the company’s buses travelling from Lagos to Abuja on October 26, 2022.

A statement issued by the management of the company in Lagos, made available to Sunday Sun, reads in part: “We hereby state emphatically that Chisco Transport Nigeria Limited, as a law-abiding organisation, worked with the Nigeria Police to apprehend the other suspect and has handed them over to the NDLEA for thorough investigation and diligent prosecution.”

It further explained that Chisco Transport Nigeria Limited is proactive in the enforcement of compliance by its staff and crew members by ensuring that they sign the Customs Attestation Form which guides against the carrying of any form of contraband goods before departure.

The company’s Declaration of Compliance form made available to the media shows that each driver in the company’s service is made to attest that the consignment being transported in his vehicle is not listed on the Nigerian Customs Service list of prohibited and banned goods.
