Mani added that “the issue of substance abuse is even getting challenging, especially with the involvement of young teens in the abuse of new psychoactive substances, especially women.”
“Despite all these, we must not lose our hope as the agency has strengthened its efforts towards prevention strategy through the establishment of remodelled counselling/rehab centre within the premises of Borno state command”.
Under his command, the NDLEA had successfully seized 4.5 tonnes of illicit substances and arrested 863 suspects. Out of the arrested individuals, 53 had been convicted while 736 were undergoing counseling.
A household survey conducted by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime revealed that the level of substance abuse in Nigeria was significantly higher than the global average, particularly in the northern regions.
