Youth Coalition Partners NDLEA in Fight Against Drug Abuse, Cultism, and Economic Sabotage

 



By Abioye Tosin Lawrence, OrionTimes




In a strategic and commendable effort to rally the youth of the Southwest against growing social vices, the Director General of the Coalition of Nigerian Youth on Security and Safety Affairs, Ambassador Ade Mario Emmanuel, led a high-level delegation to the Osun State Command of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).



The delegation included Hon Amb. Henry Oyebade the Osun state Cordinator of CONYSSA, and other key stakeholders, with the purpose of reinforcing partnerships aimed at combating cultism, internet fraud, money laundering, drug abuse, child trafficking, and broader forms of economic sabotage.


The NDLEA State Commander, Adetula Oluwarotimi, during the visit emphasized the critical role of young people in national development. “Youth make up the majority in any nation,” he said. “Any country that fails to take its youth seriously will have serious consequences to face.”


Adetula, welcomed the initiative and praised the role of Mrs. Dupe Adeleke-Sanni, wife of the late Osun State Governor, Senator Isiaka Adeleke, for her long-standing advocacy against drug abuse and her impact on youth-focused campaigns.




Ambassador Ade Mario, urged a return to the values that once defined the Yoruba region. “We were once known as an ideological zone. It’s time to raise awareness. Those who rose to global heights were brought up with integrity. Our culture and values need a thorough recheck,” he said.


He stressed that the issues plaguing youth in the region must be addressed holistically, through a multi-stakeholder approach that includes government agencies, traditional institutions, faith-based organizations, and community leaders.


The coalition’s visit marks a significant step in the movement to reclaim the moral and ethical foundation of Southwest Nigeria’s youth and foster a future built on integrity, discipline, and resilience.

BREAKING: Esa-Oke Youths Reunite as Survivors, Caution Pelumi against revisionism

....we’re not your campaign slogan Once upon a glorious, chaotic 2017, practically every able-bodied youth in Esa-Oke held honorary title in the land: Personal Assistant to Barrister Pelumi Olajengbesi. No interviews. No pay. Just passion, blind loyalty, and the stamina to chase him from one campaign ground to the next like a political body double. From Comrade Mainframe to Comrade Swiss, from Yinka Oba to the humble football boys who carried cones like national flags, we were there. We were the movement. Until, of course. Now in 2025, Barrister Pelumi, clearly inspired by a Netflix political drama is on a media tour telling anyone who’ll listen that he "settled everyone who worked for him." Settled who, please? Maybe in his dreams or in the metaverse. In the real world, the story’s a bit different. Those of us from Obokun, who hustled day and night, got exactly zero: no thank you, no handshake. Take Sami, now a former Ward 7 councillor, no thanks from Pelumi. Folusho? Aregbe...

Assassination Attempt: Police can’t deny what’s on their desk, says Amotekun boss

  The Corps Commander of the Osun Amotekun Corps , High Chief Dr Hon. Adekunle Isaac Omoyele , who is currently receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital following an attempted assassination on his life on Monday, has strongly refuted the claims made by the Osun State Police Spokeperson regarding the incident. Reacting to the statement by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), who claimed that investigations had not commenced because the Commander had not provided evidence of the attack, the Amotekun boss expressed deep disappointment, labeling the police response as insensitive and misleading. "It is shocking that a police spokesperson would say there is no evidence of an attack when the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Ota-Efun Division — the nearest jurisdiction to the incident — was immediately informed," the Commander said. "Officers from that division visited the scene the same night, assessed the damage, evacuated the vehicle, and advised me to seek ...
