**under the influence of drugs can commit heinous crimes such as rape, murder, robbery and sometimes even commit suicide.
**most of the Boko Haram Members arrested were found with various drugs.
The boxes found in their possession at various camps included not only

Governor Kashim Shettima shocked everybody present at the inauguration
of a 10-man committee on drug abuse at the council chambers of the Borno
State Government House on Thursday, when he declared that some of his
cabinet members were drug addicts and asked one of his commissioners if
he knew them when he (commissioner) burst into laughter.
The governor, who was reacting to an address by the state commander of
the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) when he said it was sad
that drug abuse in Borno State has risen to an unprecedented level and
has cut across age, sex and various socio-economic backgrounds.
Governor Shettima, who corroborated the commander’s position also said
most of the Boko Haram insurgents arrested were found with tramol and
psychotropic drugs, adding that, some of the boxes also found in
possession of the sect members at various camps included not only
weapons, but drugs of different kinds.
It is recalled that the 10-man committee inaugurated by the governor was
informed by his efforts to curb drug abuse in the state by
complementing the efforts of the NDLEA in the fight against illicit
drugs in Borno State.
While inaugurating the 10-man committee, Governor Shettima said apart
from the second World war, nothing had consumed more human lives than
drugs and that drug abuse is worse than cancer and HIV/AIDS, as such the
need to have a committee to control the menace in Borno State.
The governor said people under the influence of drugs can commit heinous
crimes such as rape, murder, robbery and sometimes even commit suicide,
because the drugs control them, adding that drugs are like forbidden
fruits which once tasted, it is difficult to resist.
