The Police Command in Lagos State on Thursday said that the prevalence of substance abuse had made the work of policing more difficult, lamenting that the music industry glamorised drug use.

Urging stakeholders, especially the elderly ones, to help in the fight against drugs, Hundeyin said, “The music industry is not helping us in any way. They glamorise drugs. Not all that glitters is gold.”According to him, behind most crimes in society, there is substance abuse or drug addiction among youths.

“Drugs and their attendant problems are things that manifest in the society. We all know that there is a direct connection between drugs and crimes. “If drugs actually reduce in the society, crimes too will reduce. Ordinarily, people would not go and commit crimes until they use drugs,” he said.
