Abstract
Crimes are rarely simple matters in any society. This informed the necessity for law as a social control mechanism to regulate and punish deviant behaviour. Societies respond to such exceptionally deviant actions by creating laws to curb and sometimes punish them. Although, there is no universal definition of what constitutes criminal behaviour or how it should be dealt with; nevertheless, drug trafficking in any society constitutes a worrisome and unacceptable deviant behaviour in view of its grave implications. In other to extenuate the causal factors and mitigate the seriousness of the havoc arisable from drug trafficking, efforts are continually made by the national government often in collaboration with relevant international bodies to stem the tide of drug trafficking. The thrust of this paper is to give an insight into the legal and institutional frameworks put in place by the Nigerian government to address the drug challenge.
