SIZA Foundation Reacts To meth Addiction In Southeast, Urges NDLEA to Spread Investigative Network

As the issue of drug addiction continues to pose a challenge among the youth population, the Founder/President SIZA Foundation, a non-governmental organisation dedication for anti-drug advocacy, Ms Emmanuella Adaeze Ezissi has described the menace of 'meth' in the South-East as a scourge, calling on relevant authorities to arrest the menace.

Describing it further as a social disaster, Ms Ezissi stressed that the permeating culture of substance abuse has increased the level of social vices among the youthful population.

Methamphetamine Hydrochloride, popularly known as ‘meth’ in Igbo land or crystal meth, comes in clear crystal chunks or shiny blue-white rocks. Also called Ice or glass on the streets.

The advocate in a press parley on Monday said even though no social group or status is totally immuned from the menace noted that it is commonly seen among unemployed youths.

This she said is not unconnected with efforts to induce euphoria as a means of temporarily escaping life challenges staring at them.

She therefore called on the relevant government agencies, especially the reinvigorated National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA under the leadership of Buba Marwa to spread its investigative network around the South East region, particularly Anambra said identified as hotbed of the 'meth' menace.

"First NDLEA must scatter their investigative unit across the 326 wards in the state (Anambra) to discover those who responsibile for distributing this hallucinating agent to our youths" she advised.

She further advocated that identified drug victims should be sent to rehabilitation centres before being reintegrated into the larger society.

According to Ms Ezissi, there is need to raise the tempo of awareness campaign especially at the grass root level to orientate the youths of the health and social implications of consuming the psychoactive substance

She further called for a stiffer legislative framework that will disincentivise the use of drugs as a robust measure to curb crime and criminality in the society.

During the official unveiling of SIZA Foundation recently in Abuja, Ms Ezissi also launched her book titled, "Combating Drug Abuse Among the Youth, Its Impact On National Security, Crime Reduction and Peace Election"

It attracted stakeholders from NDLEA, NAPTIP and others.

Hear this hypocrite, " if they taste it hmmmm its finished ". Because Northerners love taking drugs the way Igbo's love peddling hard drugs & distributing it. Atleast there are thousands of remind homes in the North to control it, while in the east they only have their fake juju men & fake drugs to control it. Imagine using a fake medicine to cure Mkpurumiri madness.

I appreciate the campaign against this drug in the east but let it been known that this same drug is all over the country! It's called ice somewhere in ogun state and they are really taking it very well there too! The name mpkuru mmiri is just the name they gave it in the east using igbo language. It's seriously addictive and should be vigorously pursued out of reach. I also strongly advise that it should not be allowed to step into northern Nigeria bcoz if they taste it hmmmm! It is finished, I don't know if it has gotten there yet but I'm sure is in the east and west
