And it\u2019s actually the number one problem because it\u2019s also at the root of criminalities: the insurgents, the terrorists, bandits.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have about 15m Nigerians that use drugs and that is a very high prevalence which is approaching three times the global prevalence. When you talk drug, it is everywhere; every community has this problem and it\u2019s now in families and neighborhoods. It\u2019s critical for all of us as stakeholders to stand up and face this challenge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd it is in view of this that the President launched the war against drug abuse last year. The purpose of the war against drug abuse is to sensitize and make Nigerians themselves take the ownership of this war as their own personnel war because we\u2019re all affected.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said that Nigerians must prioritise the anti-drug war to avoid the prediction of the United Nations (UN) that in another 20 years, the 15m drug users in the country may double.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the US, about 28 states have actually lifted the ban on cannabis. But only yesterday (Thursday) I was watching President Biden was in the process of lifting the ban. The circumstances are actually different.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFirst of all, it is the law in Nigeria that possession of illicit substances is a crime. And now, it is left to the judgement of the judges to determine whether the possession elicits whatever punishment they deem fit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe in the NDLEA recognize it as a crime possession but also determined, using up all templates, whether the person who possesses (it) is dealing or is consuming it himself.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe tend to not criminalise and punish users; ordinary users, if that\u2019s what they\u2019re doing. What we do, instead, we treat them and I think this point is very important to the medicare. So, of about 18,900 arrests in the course of my tenure so far over, over 12,000 were counselled and treated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou would hear that we jailed over 2,904. In fact, the number is rising because only yesterday (Thursday) in Lagos, over 20 convictions were achieved and people look at that direction. But actually, we do even more in the treatment of those who are in possession, and we have to be very clear.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has said that Nigerian peculiarities and prevailing realities cannot allow it to legalise cannabis cultivation.
