Single Ladies To Undergo Drug Tests Before Marriages, NDLEA Chairman

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) says single ladies are to go for drug tests before getting married.

NDLEA Chairman, Mohammed Mustapha Abdalla, made this known on Friday, August 21, while destroying seized illicit substances in Maiduguri.

Abdalla said drug tests may be included in premarital screenings due to the increase in the rate of cannabis Sativa, cocaine, and heroin addiction among women in the country.

He said:

“As an extension of the proposed Drug Integrity Test Policy for the public servants, the agency is considering partnering with religious leaders to make drug testing a prerequisite for marriages in churches and mosques as the case for HIV/AIDS”,
