It has always been anticipated though that, while students get immensely involved in merrymaking activities around this period, their behaviours could easily get influenced and spoiled by bad people who may lure the teenagers into malpractices including mainly abusing drugs which might hamper their dreams to become useful and competent citizens.
To fight the vice, Rwanda National Police, in Kirehe District earlier this week, sensitized about 100 youth majority students, on the dangers of drug abuse and to refrain from all sorts of criminal and immoral acts.
Inspector of Police (IP) Gahigi Harerimana, the District Community Liaison Officer (DCLO) of Kirehe, took the youngsters through all types of narcotic drugs, dangers associated with abusing drugs and challenged them to courageously step up against them by reporting those who either attempt to lure them into abusing or selling them and drug dealers.
IP Gahigi appealed to the youths to rebuff all kind of influences, support their parents and avoid behaviours that can take them into malpractices like abusing drugs.
“Drug abuse is not only a potential threat to one’s health… seriously damages brain capacity, but also a criminal act,” IP Gahigi told the youth.
He also urged them to abstain from sexual immorality acts, which result into unwanted pregnancies, contracting and transmitting HIV/AIDS among other sexual infectious diseases.
