Afolabi who has over 30 years experience on the job was asked by the accused lawyer: Dr. Onyechi Ikpeazu (SAN) if the suspect in a drug deal has to be present before analysis is conducted and she answered negative. She also said she was not present when the drugs were recovered but was only present when the NDLEA received it.
