The Family Support Unit (FSU) and the Community Relations Department (CRD) of the Bo West Division have conducted a sensitization program at Methodist High School in Bo, focusing on the critical issues of early marriage and drug abuse among young people.
The outreach team, led by Sub-Inspector Edna Mahdi, included Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Philip Nabieu, Sergeant Thomas Rogers, and Police Constable Makieu Daboh. Together, they engaged with pupils, cautioning them against the dangers of early marriage and substance abuse.
Officers detailed the severe negative impacts of these issues, explaining how they can derail a student’s education, harm their health, and contribute to a rise in gender-based violence within society.
Sub-Inspector Mahdi advised the pupils to concentrate on their studies as the most reliable path to personal success and a brighter future. The Sierra Leone Police used the event to reaffirm its commitment to youth guidance, community policing, and building trust with the communities it serves.
The administration of Methodist High School welcomed the initiative and expressed its appreciation to the Sierra Leone Police for bringing such important awareness to their students. School officials encouraged continued collaboration with the police in guiding pupils to become disciplined and responsible citizens.
