NDLEA Operatives Don’t Need Warrant To Search Your House

Femi Babafemi has revealed why operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency don’t need to have a warrant before they can search any premises.

The spokesman for the anti-drug agency made the revelation following an outcry over the night raid on the home of singers Zinoleesky and Mohbad by NDLEA operatives.

In a viral video from the raid, friends of the singer were captured demanding a warrant from the operatives who ignored them while moving on with the arrest of the singers.

Posting on Facebook, Babafemi shared a screenshot of an Act that allows NDLEA operatives to search premises without having a warrant.

He captioned the screenshot, “This is for the benefit of those who want to know why officers of @ndlea_nigeria don’t need a warrant to search premises or vehicles; arrest suspects or seize exhibits. It’s the LAW!”

The screenshot read, “b) Any officer of the Agency involved in the enforcement of the provisions of this Act.
