Afenifere Urges Tinubu To Bolster Security For NAFDAC DG Amid Death Threats

The Pan-Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere, has called on President Bola Tinubu to immediately strengthen security around the Director-General of NAFDAC, Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye, following alleged threats to her life.

In a statement issued by Afenifere’s Organizing Secretary, Abagun Kole Omololu, the group emphasized that Adeyeye’s distress call over threats to her and her staff must not be ignored.

Omololu underscored the critical role Adeyeye plays in the fight against counterfeit drugs, toxic consumables, and criminal syndicates, stating that any attack on her would be an assault on public health, national security, and the rule of law.

“Nigeria cannot afford to abandon those who risk everything for the greater good,” he warned.

Afenifere further urged the government to implement robust security measures for other high-risk public officials, including the Chairman of the EFCC and the head of the NDLEA. The group recommended:

• Armored vehicles
• Elite security personnel
• Advanced surveillance systems
• Protection for their families, both during and after their service

Failure to act decisively, Afenifere warned, would embolden criminals and weaken national institutions.

“Nigeria cannot turn a blind eye while purveyors of deadly drugs roam free. This is a battle for national survival, and the stakes could not be higher.”

The group urged President Tinubu to prioritize Prof. Adeyeye’s security, recognizing her sacrifice in returning to serve the nation and ensuring that her safety is not compromised.
