As part of a concerted effort to combat the illegal sale of kush, the Local Unit Commander of the Harbour Police Division, CSP Emmanuel Kpulun, spearheaded a major crackdown on kush peddlers within the division, following directives from the Police Regional Commander of Freetown-East, ACP Francis Meinday
Dubbed “Operation Kush Must Go,” the joint team of regional and divisional police personnel conducted raids on various locations known for kush activity, including the Attouga Mini Stadium, Race Course Cemetery, Africanus Road, Yebeh Gron, Binkoloh (Fisheries), Kissy Dockyard, Kissy Ferry Terminal, and Culvert Community.
During the operation, several makeshift structures used as kush purchasing centers were demolished. Additionally, the team made a disturbing discovery at the Race Course Cemetery, where several graves had been forcefully tampered with, exposing newly buried coffins.
As the operation continued, the team encountered resistance from kush peddlers and drug addicts, who fled upon the sight of law enforcement. Some attempted to evade arrest by jumping into the sea, prompting a somewhat ironic scene as kush smokers, known for their aversion to water, resorted to swimming to avoid capture.
Despite the challenges faced during the operation, residents of the affected communities expressed gratitude to the police for their efforts in curbing kush distribution. They commended the police for their vigilance and echoed the sentiment that “Kush Must Go.”
The police must ensure that their hands are clean before we can be able to win this fight.
The same police that selling it
The same police that are selling the kush
You are trying to fool us because they these people are not the one’s manufacturer in its here so how come is it entertaining here the country?
The police must ensure that their hands are really clean before they can be able to conquer this battle, May God almighty help our children .
The police must also crack down on those who are importing it
Can the police go and clear the guys that are taking Kush around the SLPP Party Office? Let them stop this hypocrisy. If this should be done successfully, it should be a holistic approach. Once there are abusers, there will be producers, distributor and sellers/peddlers. Also, once there is Human Right, the act will continue. After all, it is the right of every man to eat or take what he deems necessary for his body. If people can be given to right to decide whether to be a man or a woman, why not leave them to decide what to consume?
In my opinion, Kush has taken a more devastating effect on youths in this region than other drugs.that have been abused in the past. 80% of those that smoke cigarettes are also smoking Kush. Over 60% of our current workforce( the youths) also take it.
If nothing is done and done very fast, in the next 5-10 years, the workforce (the youths) will dwindle by 30-40%.
Until we begin to see things from a different perspective, our youths will keep going down the drain.
It is about time that we introduce some draconic laws in tackling some of the ills in our society.
Great work by the SLP
