Traditional ruler of Umunya in Oyi Local Government Area of Anambra State, Igwe Kris Onyekwuleje has warned drug peddlers to stop destroying the youth in the Southeast with methamphitamine, popularly known as Mkpulummili.
He said many youths in the area had been ruined by the drug intake, urging them to desist forthwith for their interest.
Onyekwuleje spoke on Friday in Awka during the maiden edition of bloggers summit organised by the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Anambra State Council.
He praised Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s approach to the insecurity in the state, saying he had restored hope of the people of the state known for very high entrepreneurial spirits.
He said,” I want to appeal to our youths to please stop destroying their lives with crystal methamphitamine ,”Mkpulummili’ This drugs can only destroy your lives and your future. You keep destroying your future with the intake and abuse of this killer drug.
‘Today many are seen roaming the streets mad, some in rehabilitation centres while some even dead. Too bad a situation!. For your own good and that of your family, please stop.
‘I am equally appealing to the consciences of those selling the drugs to retrace their steps. If they end up making the money will they spend it on an insane society?”
