Marwa, made this known while defending his budget before the House of Representatives Committee on Narcotics, in Abuja today Thursday 3rd November 2022. He mentioned that a sniffer dog costs as much as $20,000.
Truth Live News gathered that Chairman of the Committee, Francis Agbo (PDP, Benue state) comment gave rise to Marwa’s revelation, which was that he discovered that the agency has no sniffer dog at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.
Marwa in his respond to the comment said they have dogs but he will not disclose the number of dogs in order not to reveal its operational capacity to cartels.
He said:
“We definitely need dogs. Dogs cost between $15,000 and $20,000 each. I won’t state in this forum to the hearing of the cartels how many dogs we have. We need more dogs. I will take the opportunity to express appreciation to the German criminal police, we worked with them, they supply the dogs.
“They just supplied a few. More importantly, they are building a six million euro dog training school in Lagos which would be used also with our neighbours in ECOWAS.”
