The Former drug addict, who is now receiving treatment at the House of St. Francis Rehab center, in Ashiaman, disclosed on SVTV Africa that, he was a drug pusher in his time at Senior High School.
‘’I sold all kinds of drugs on campus, be it marijuana, tramadol and what have you’’ he said.
According to him, he was even sacked from school after school authorities noticed that, he was into drug business on campus. He didn’t only sell them, he smoked and used them too.
Adding that, he influenced about 80% of his colleagues in SHS, into drugs, most especially, his roommates and the juniors.
‘’I was a very cool guy on campus, and I had many admirers, everybody including my room mates wanted to behave and be like me, but I was very bad underground which they didn’t know.
Because most of my colleagues wanted to be like me, it was very easy for me to convince them to smoke weed and do other drugs’’. He narrated.
He made an account that, after he was sacked from school, his drug level increased more and at a point he even wanted to sell his mum’s car and house.
Thanks to God, one day, he woke up and was so fed up with drugs, his urge to stop was so high, so immediately, he told his mum, and eventually he was brought to St. Francis rehab center in Ashiaman, where he is now going through detoxification.
He is however, thankful to God, for everything he has passed through, whether or not positive, and urging the youth to stay away from it.

Great initiative SVTV, my only concern is that it should not just be about these interviews. It should be more than that. Anyone in front of a camera will say yes I want to stop but how? Treatment for the disease of addiction is very expensive and very few in the country. We need more rehab and addiction specialist to curb this menace. Addiction is a family,town, region and a national disease. Today it might not be your ward directly but that addict under the influence of drugs can break into your home and cause u lots of harm. So let’s all put hands on desk and fight it as a disease just like HPT, diabetes,SCD etc.
