The Lagos State Police Command, through its Police Campaign Against Cultism and Other Vices (POCACOV), has sensitised about 400 students of the Police Children School, Ikeja, on the importance of making positive choices, behaving responsibly and staying away from cultism, drug abuse and other social vices.
The programme, themed “Right Choices, Great Future,” took place on Wednesday, 30 September 2026. It was aimed at promoting positive values and empowering the students to make responsible decisions for a better future.
A member of POCACOV, Mr Henry Bassey, urged the students to be law-abiding and to keep open lines of communication with their parents, teachers and trusted adults, particularly when faced with threats or troubling experiences.
A mental health expert from the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), Dr Hezekiah Akinlade, also educated the students on the dangers of drug and substance abuse. He urged them to resist negative peer pressure and make healthy choices.
Speaking on behalf of the Commissioner of Police, CP Tijani Fatai, the POCACOV Coordinator for Lagos State, SP Olivia A. Ugochukwu, advised the students to remain focused on their education, choose their friends wisely, respect their parents and teachers, and obey the law. She also cautioned them against behaviours capable of jeopardising their future.
The programme forms part of the Command’s preventive approach to combating cultism, drug abuse and other social vices through early engagement and positive value formation among young people.
