Due to the level of danger from drug cartels and other criminal organizations, the use of armored vehicles is one of the strong security measures implemented by NDLEA to protect its agents.

In addition to the bullet-resistant glass and reinforced structure, this bus boasts an ‘inner door’ made of heavy-gauge steel to create another secure barrier within the bus. It is designed to further protect passenger compartment in high-risk areas while opening the main sliding door.

It will be recalled that in September 2022, the Federal Executive Council (FEC) approved N580.5 million for the procurement of 4 customised armoured vehicles of 14 seater model for NDLEA to help to fight dangerous and illicit drugs.

Then, the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, said the decision was taken to safeguard the lives of NDLEA personnel who have been working very hard with impressive results being recorded.
