Popular Afrobeats artiste, Naira Marley, encourages his devoted fan base, known as Marlians, along with the youth of Nigeria, to steer clear of drugs and substance abuse, emphasizing the detrimental impact on their overall well-being.
The artist behind the hit track “Issa Goal” offered this counsel during his visit to the main offices of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) in Abuja on Thursday.
During his time at the NDLEA headquarters, he engaged with the Chief Executive Officer, Buba Marwa, to openly endorse the movement against drug abuse.
“I will like to urge my fans the Marlians and all the Nigerian youths to stop doing drugs because it is not good for your wellbeing. Let us stop substance abuse in any form,” Naira Marley said in a video tweet by the agency.
“I have keyed into this campaign to support the NDLEA to stop drugs in the streets. Please, join us. It is really not good; it makes you go back into crime; it does a lot of things to you.”
Naira Marley hit the spotlight following a fraud case with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Last year, the singer faced an 11-count charge bothering on card fraud.
