Tonto Dikeh calls out ‘unserious’ NDLEA after Naira Marley’s visit

Renowned Nigerian Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh, has voiced her thoughts regarding Naira Marley’s recent advocacy visit to Buba Marwa, the chairman of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).
On Thursday, the controversial singer paid a courtesy visit to the NDLEA headquarters, declaring his support for the ongoing fight against drug abuse.
“I will like to urge my fans and all the Nigerian youths to stop doing drugs cos it’s not good for your wellbeing. Let us stop substance abuse in any form,” Naira Marley said in a video shared by the agency.
However, Dikeh expressed her displeasure with the recent post by the anti-drug agency, referring to them as “the most unserious set of folks.” Her reaction included a pointed threat to unfollow them.
In response to Naira Marley’s stance on drug abuse, the actress took to her Instagram handle to say, “I don’t involve myself in bullshit, especially other people’s bullshit. This, I must say, is the biggest embarrassment from any government agency/drug law enforcement agency.”
She continued, “I wld like to say more, but I’ll wait for @ndlea_nigeria to pick me up for an interview/drug test/ or just a chat on why I’m bold enough to call them out!!!!”
While Dikeh clarified that she held no personal grievances against Naira Marley, who has a history of smoking marijuana in public. She concluded her post, stating, “And if I’m replied, I’ll gladly respond disrespectfully. I have absolutely nothing wrong on the said artist but the government.”
Her remarks have ignited diverse reactions among Nigerians, who have actively shared opinions regarding the NDLEA’s endorsement of Naira Marley’s campaign against drug abuse.
Naira Marley, no stranger to controversies, has previously been embroiled in issues such as his case with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), centred around credit card fraud.
