I know it's a foolish question but something of such has been seized from someone I know, he was arrested n he paid all the fines n the goods were given to him back through some NDLEA dogs

ReplyDeleteNah wah
Drug abuse especially amongst the youth is a very serious problem these days.
ReplyDeleteA lot needs to be done to educate on the dangers and effects of these drugs. Too many 'mad' people are roaming the streets these days as a result of drug abuse
