Top Trending News:


Juba Mayor and the National Interior Ministry said the future is bleak for the country if necessary measures are not taken to tackle drugs and Prostitution in the country. 

After a meeting with the National Interior Minister, Mayor Allah Jabu said the meeting was to mitigate ways of dealing with the rampant drug abuse of the drug called Methamphetamine commonly known as "Crystal Meth" or Ice. 

In his own words quoted by the media: “The meeting discussed issues about the abuse of drugs and alcoholic spirits like the one which is called ‘Jenafar’ because they are contributing so much in destroying our youths and most of the criminals are using those drugs,” he said. “One of the new drugs is methamphetamine, commonly known as ice, and it is being consumed in large quantities in Juba. It makes you dormant for not less than a week so that you do things the way you want.”- Allah-Jabu. 

He said that his office will work hand in hand with the police to identify the suppliers of Methamphetamine which he termed as a "dangerous drug."

“We do not know exactly where these drugs come from but we are looking for the source that is why we are creating modalities and coming out with these resolutions so that the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) can act and apprehend the suppliers,” he said. “The JCC used to have weekly emergency operations in the field in some of the areas like Cassava near the bridge, Atlabara behind Jerusalem Pharmacy, Kakuma Market, and other places known for drugs.”- Mayor Allah-Jabu said. 

He further vowed to clean the city of drugs and Prostitution with the help of the police before the coming of Pope Francis.

Meanwhile, Police Spokesperson Gen. Daniel Justin Buolo said they have beefed up security ahead of the Pope’s apostolic visit.

Gen. Daniel Buolo, the police spokesperson said that they have added additional security measures ahead of Pope's visit. 

“The plan is very comprehensive and it is in place. We have already started gathering information on what should be done during the Pope’s visit,” he said. “The security forces are ready, especially the police, because they will be the ones leading the security coverage, especially in the places of prayers where the public will be."- Gen. Daniel Buolo said. 

Methamphetamine is a potent central nervous system stimulant that is mainly used as a recreational drug and less commonly as a second-line treatment for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and obesity.
