NDLEA took its campaign against drug abuse to mosques in Katsina State as Muslims were attending Islamic lectures and preparing to break the Ramadan fast for the day.
The agency’s Commander in the state, Mohammed Bashir and his entourage were at the Abubakar Sadiq Juma’at mosque, Filin Samji and Rafukka Juma’at mosque, Kofar Sauri, both in the state capital.
The Ramadan daily lectures gather faithful to listen to interpretation and explanations of the Holy Qur’an.
Speaking during the campaign at Rafukka Juma’at mosque, Bashir said the campaign aimed at sensitising parents and youths against the illegal use of drugs and hard substances.
He added that the move would assist in informing parents on measures to be taken on their children to stave off the use of hard drugs.
In his response, the Imam of Rafukka Juma’at mosque, Sheikh Husamat Babangida, said such initiative was a welcome development, “because the menace affects everyone’’.
