People are spending lots of money to run mad in the name of getting high – Police PRO laments high drug use in Delta state

DSP Bright Edafe, the spokesperson for the Delta State Police Command, has expressed concern over the significant prevalence of drug abuse in the state.

On Monday, November 6, 2023, the Public Relations Officer (PPRO) highlighted this issue while sharing a photo of confiscated illicit drugs from a supplier in Ughelli.

He stated that people are spending money to run mad in the name of getting high.

“People are spending lots of money to run mad. I will keep saying this. We have to do our best to stop the abuse of the substance in the name of getting high,” he said. 

“These hard drugs were recovered from a transporter who was going to supply at Ughelli. I also heard that there is a high rate of drug/substance abuse in Oghara as well. We have to condemn this trend, otherwise, I don’t know where the leaders of tomorrow will come from if we use drugs to destroy our today. How do we see tomorrow like this?”
