Farai Dziva| A Zimbabwe Republic Police officer has urged youths to desist from taking dangerous drugs.

Acting Bulawayo police spokesperson Inspector Abednico Ncube last week said police were in the processes of implementing stern measures to curb drug abuse.

Speaking to reporters in Bulawayo Ncube said:”As police, we are concerned about the behaviour of some of the teenagers and youths.

We have made repeated calls, urging parents and guardians to closely monitor their children’s activities, especially on the first Saturday after schools close for the term and the last Saturday of the holiday and any Saturday with prominent events like ZITF.”

“We have many drug addicts among our children and that is very sad,” added Ncube.
