The Oyo State Security Network Agency, code-named Amotekun Corps, has partnered with the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency to tackle drug abuse and its associated security challenges across communities in the state.
The State Commissioner for Information, Dotun Oyelade, in a statement released on Tuesday and made available to journalists in Ibadan, the state capital, said the collaboration was strengthened during a one-day sensitisation programme organised by the NDLEA for Amotekun operatives.
“The collaboration aims to focus on drug abuse prevention, identification of substance-related risks, healthy coping strategies, responsible conduct and community-based approaches to promoting drug-free communities,” Oyelade said.
In his welcome address, the Oyo State corp’s Commandant, Col. Olayinka Olayanju (retd.), who was represented by the Director of Finance and Accounts, Mrs Adigun Yetunde, appreciated the NDLEA for the initiative and collaboration.
