We, Legal Advocacy Response to Drugs Initiative (LARDI), are like minded lawyers that provide free legal services to indigent drug arrestees. The group was inaugurated on 6th September, 2018 in Abuja, Nigeria with the technical support of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) under its "Response to Drugs and Related Organized Crime in Nigeria" project, funded by the European Union (EU).

We have members in all the states in Nigeria including the Federal Capital Territory.

We believe that no person - whether Nigerian or expatriate - should be denied access to justice merely on the basis of poverty nor be stigmatized for being dependent on drugs, and that drug use should be treated as a health challenge.
