Tinubu hails by-election winners in four states

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, Abia State Command, has disclosed that about fifty persons, including graduates and undergraduates, are undergoing rehabilitation at its centre in Aba, Abia State.

According to the command, those undergoing rehabilitation were previously involved in drug addiction or abuse and were brought to the centre by their families and relatives for treatment by the NDLEA.

The disclosure was made by Deputy Commander of Narcotics, Bekwele Chukwu, in Umuahia when he delivered a lecture at a sensitisation programme organised by the Nigerian Army for the troops of 14 Brigade, Ohafia.

He noted that through the efforts of the NDLEA, youths and community leaders are being sensitised about the dangers of drug abuse and other harmful substances.

DCN Chukwu, who stood in for the Abia State NDLEA Commander, CN Chigbu Odoemelam Chilee, gave an in-depth presentation on the various categories of illicit and psychoactive substances, their psychological and physiological effects, and the grave consequences of substance abuse on operational efficiency, discipline, and national security.

He emphasized that drug abuse within the military undermines professionalism, compromises judgment, and endangers lives. He encouraged troops of 14 Brigade to remain vigilant, uphold integrity, and seek help where necessary, stressing that prevention remains the most effective approach.
