The Nigeria Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has lamented the odd and bizarre items being consumed by youths in Borno state to get intoxicated.

The NDLEA commander of narcotics in Borno, Iliyasu Mani, in a statement said youths drink fermented human urine preserved for days and other substances in place of taking hard drugs.

Mani said, “Let me state categorically here that these new psychoactive substances that are commonly abused today include cannabis sativa, skunk, cough syrup with codeine; Ice, Tramadol, Rohypnol, Diazepam, Pentazocine, rubber solution, glue, gutter dirt, toilet fumes, lizard dung.

“Others include Lipton soaked in gin, camel urine, mentholated spirit in soft drinks, 10-day-old human urine, and so on.”

He admitted that “the issue of substance abuse is even getting challenging, especially with the involvement of young teens in the abuse of new psychoactive substances, especially women.

Despite all these, we must not lose our hope as the agency has strengthened its efforts towards prevention strategy through the establishment of remodelled counselling/rehab centre within the premises of Borno state command”.
