Adole said the agency had resorted to targeting ‘black-sport’in the state and arresting major dealers in an effort to reduce the rate of abuse.
He called on youth to be careful and focus on things that would make them successful in life instead of indulging in drug abuse.
The Commandant also advised them not to allow themselves to be used by selfish politicians.
He also urged the parents, guardians and religious leaders to guide the youth on the right path towards ensuring violence-free elections this year.
“You (parents) need to talk to them to shun this act.

“Always advise people that are taking drugs to know that it is dangerous to the individual and the society,” he said.
