The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA
The Commander of Narcotics of the NDLEA in Borno State, Iliyasu Mani, and Nigerians have been reacting.
According to him, abuse of psychoactive substances is prevalent among the youths, and they also take other unusual substances such as lizard dung, camel urine, Lipton soaked in gin, and Mentholated spirit mixed with soft drinks.
He added that his command has already established drop-in centres across all tertiary institutions to serve as drug abuse research centres for the benefit of all.
His words, “Let me state categorically here that these new psychoactive substances that are commonly abused today include Cannabis Sativa, skunk, Cough syrup with codeine; Ice, Tramadol, Rohypnol, Diazepam, Pentazocine, rubber solution, glue, gutter dirt, toilet fumes, lizard dung.
Others include Lipton soaked in gin, camel urine, Mentholated spirit in soft drinks; 10-day-old human Urine, and so on.
Despite all these, we must not lose our hope as the agency has strengthened its efforts towards prevention strategy through the establishment of remodeled counselling/rehab centre within the premises of Borno State Command.
WOW.
