On the Walk, NAOSNP President, Oki Samson indicated: “The issues of drug abuse, cultism, and domestic violence are top three social problems which are rife within the youth population. The Lagos State Police Command have time and again explained that drug abuse and cultism in particular are their biggest concerns.”
‘In the same vein, the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Response Team (DSVRT) showed that in 2021, the agency dealt with 2,584 domestic and sexual violence cases for adults, out of which women were the greatest victims with 2,349 cases. These facts paint the scenario which stares us in the face’, Oki added.
The intention of the “NAOSNP Walks Against Drug Abuse, Cultism and Domestic Violence” is to create awareness against the prevailing trend of drug abuse, cultism among the youths and domestic violence that has led to permanent disability, road accident, and sometimes, death!
