Concerns DLEAG had earlier expressed concern over the increased usage of drugs among young people in the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is disappointing and disheartening that people, especially relatives, will be aware about their kinsmen is involvement in illicit activities and wouldn\u2019t make any effort to address it. On the contrary, they will do everything humanly possible to ensure that such people are shielded and not brought to book. We must understand that it is our collective responsibility to ensure that our societies are safe and secure,\u201d DLEAG said.<\/p>\n<p>The agency added: \u201cWe are losing youths with high potentials and prospects to drugs. Children as young as 12 sit at joints within our communities abusing drugs all day long. No one dares to address them for fear of the disrespect they will receive from them. The agency continues to receive a countless number of complaints and reports from the public regarding drug related activities and open drug abuse.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/gambia\">Gambia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
