The activity was done at Muhoza Police Station in Musanze District in the incinerator at the Station where the narcotics as members of the public looked on.
The drugs that were destroyed include illicit brews namely: Kanyanga, Sky, and marijuana among other drugs.
Some of the residents who witnessed the destruction of the drugs said they know the dangers of drugs and asked for more cooperation in the fight against narcotics.
“The money that was wasted on those drugs should have been invested in other income generating projects that are legal. Drugs have no benefit for they just destroy the lives of our young people. Some have been arrested and are in prison while others have become poor due to the use and sale of drugs,” said Jean Pierre Niyitegeka, a resident of Muhoza Sector in Musanze District.
Innocent Habimana, another youth who had come to witness the activity said, “Young people should work hard with their hands and brain and never engage in the sale of drugs because drugs destroy their future.”
The Northern Regional Police Commander, ACP Jean Baptiste Ntaganira said, “Drugs destroy lives of those who abuse them and they cause losses to the nation as its citizens’ property is lost in this illegal business.”
“We urge all the people mostly the youth to collaborate in the fight against the drug sale and abuse by reporting to officials on time whenever they know somebody selling or consuming drugs,” ACP Ntaganira said.
