Legal practitioners in Kano state are now required to undergo drug tests to know their mental state before joining the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA).

Kano state Chairman of the NBA Mohammed Musa said this on Saturday during a programme tagged: ”Kano State NBA Walk Against Drug Abuse”, as part of activities marking the 2018 NBA Kano Law Week.

According to him, legal practitioners who indicated their intentions to be admitted into the NBA Kano would undergo urine and blood tests to ascertain if they were free from the abuse of banned substances.

He said Kano NBA would liaise with the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, to draw up a plan on how to pursue the implementation of the drug tests on prospective applicants.

“The worrisome menace of increase in the abuse of hard drugs is sad. Kano NBA is in support of the decision by the Federal Government to ban the importation of codeine into the country.

“Henceforth, legal practitioners who indicate their intentions to be admitted into NBA Kano will undergo urine and blood tests to ascertain if they are free from the abuse of banned substances.”
