intake of illegal drugs among youths, the South East Governors have resolved to deal decisively with anyone or group apprehended.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The call came up following agitations by households, on the dangers inherent in taking drugs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the illegal killer drugs considered a crime in the South East geopolitical zone is the one known as &#8216;Methamphetamine&#8217;, or mkpuru-mmiri in Igbo dialect.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Arising from the resolutions made by the South East Governors and Leaders on a virtual meeting held on Tuesday as signed by Gov David Umahi, they threatened to combat the spread and intake of the killer drug in Igboland.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was disclosed that shops and locations confirmed to be dealing on such hard drugs would be out rightly forfeited to the State Government&nbsp; by their owners.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Trumpeta<\/em>&nbsp;Newspaper further learnt that in further sticking to the agreement, all State Governors were tasked to take the fight seriously.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dealers on the said mkpuru-mmiri will be incarcerated and made to face the Law.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This Newspaper also gathered that already, emergency phone numbers have been circulated to enable communities communicate with the State Government for the purposes of apprehending defaulters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the Governors assured on setting up rehabilitation centers for the want of treating mentally unstable&nbsp; victims affected as a result of the intake of hard drugs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It would be recalled that recently, Imo State House of Assembly read a riot act against the selling and intake of mkpuru-mmiri and other related hard drugs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Onyekachi Eze&nbsp; Apparently worried by the effect associated with the intake of illegal
