Talking to the audience during a discussion with the group Israel United in Christ at the Inspector General of Police (IGP) office on George Street in Freetown, IGP William Fayia Sellu affirmed that his force for good has already disrupted 60% of the Kush supply chain across the country.
The Sierra Leone Police (SLP) boss disclosed a substantial upheaval in the supply chain of the narcotic drug Kush, citing the disruption of the distribution network.
Speaking to the congregation, IGP Sellu accentuated the multiple approaches taken on by the government and the SLP in fighting the threat of Kush abuse. He cited current endeavors such as the statement of a public health emergency, the organization of COVID-19 response configurations, and the opening of a restoration center for victims.
IGP Sellu underscored the SLP’s obligation to eradicate Kush abuse through nurtured awareness movements and targeted police procedures. He said, “The SLP remains dedicated to curbing the abuse of drugs, particularly Kush, and we have successfully disrupted 60% of its supply chain.”
A representative from Israel United in Christ expressed their eagerness to pitch into the fight against Kush abuse, underscoring a spiritual method to round off law enforcement efforts. Captain Ose, the Team Leader emphasized the need for dealing with the spiritual extent of the issue, saying, “Kush is not just a physical problem but a spiritual one, and we aim to change mindsets through spiritual deliverance.”
He went on to express their willingness to work together with the government and share techniques to combat Kush abuse. “We will educate people about their identity and how they can transform their lives,” he affirmed.
They ended by lengthening an invitation to the IGP to participate in a schedule concentrating on Youth Violence and Conflict Resolution, planned for June 2024 at their school on Circular Road in Freetown. They conveyed hope for beginning meeting with the SLP on this vital issue
I understand that there is pressure on the government to step up the fight on kush and show progress, but that is not an excuse to start throwing out numbers that are probably false. For the police to know they’ve disrupted 60% of kush supply, they have to know what 100% is, they don’t. And while they are making arrests everyday, it is still the small fry that is getting caught. Who are those importing the chemicals specifically for use in kush? If you have disrupted 60% of kush supply, we would be seeing the effects, plenty of kush addicts who, because they can’t now get the drug, are out and about acting very desperate. And not to be unfair and lump the IGP in with Konneh, but this is the same government that told us Bio won the last election with 56% of the vote, so I take the 60% number with a grain of salt. Tomorrow and the days after, we will still see a decent amount of kush addicts on the streets, showing the effects of recent use. How can you have caught of 60% of the supply if we still see high number of users who have access to the drug on the streets?
Perfectly sain sanusi.
When I saw 60% the first question that came to mind was how did they know it was 60 %. Have they identified all the kush importers, distributor and sellers??
We know say borku mall still dae sleep na SL but some of we wake ya.
However I think they are doing well in the fight. It is not just sound to start giving out concorted numbers to please the public.
Stop quick fix and go to the bottom of the problem.
