Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The Mozambican police in Sofala on Wednesday in the city of Beira expressed concern over the increase in cases of drug use in schools in central Mozambique.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are receiving warnings of some situations that have occurred inside schools and in their vicinity,\u201d the provincial commander of the country\u2019s provincial police in Sofala, Joaquim Sive, told the media moments after a meeting with pupils from several schools in the city of Beira.<\/p>\n

According to the provincial commander, drug consumption in schools is being fuelled by already identified groups, who mostly live in the surroundings, and also by individuals pretending to be pupils to sell drugs in the educational institutions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to maintain strict surveillance,\u201d Joaquim Sive stressed, adding that the authorities will set up a permanent surveillance team, composed of police, in schools.<\/p>\n

According to the provincial director of Sofala\u2019s drug control department, Ant\u00f3nio Semente, drug traffickers take advantage of the ignorance of some pupils.<\/p>\n

\u201cInformation is circulating in schools that drugs give intelligence and strength. In fact, drugs only create disturbances in the central nervous system, in such a way that the pupil becomes bolder and gets out of his or her head,\u201d Ant\u00f3nio Semente said.<\/p>\n

Figures from the provincial directorate for combating drugs in Sofala indicate that, in the last six months alone, over 35 kilos of various drugs have been seized in Beira city, the provincial capital of Sofala.<\/p>\n
