In the early hours of Thursday, the body of an unidentified youth was discovered along Maranda Street, Kabala, near the fence of DEC Primary School.
The cause of death remains unknown, and the identity of the deceased has yet to be disclosed.
This incident highlights the escalating issue of Kush abuse among youths in the district.
The rampant use of this drug has led to an alarming increase in addiction, with many young people roaming the streets aimlessly, often resorting to theft to fund their addiction.
Local authorities and parents are urged to collaborate in addressing this crisis. It is crucial to take collective responsibility to safeguard the community’s future leaders. Many Kush victims have expressed a willingness to quit if rehabilitation centers are established.
