Nollywood actor and comedian Osita Iheme has urged Nigerian soldiers and students of the Army School of Transport and Supply in Benin City, Edo State, to take a firm stand against drug and substance abuse, emphasising its dangers to their health, careers, and service to the nation.

Speaking at a sensitisation workshop on human rights and professional conduct for troops of the 4 Brigade and students of the military school, Iheme—popularly known as ‘Paw Paw’—described drug abuse as a “silent enemy” that weakens resilience and compromises judgment.

As the chairman and founder of the Osita Iheme Foundation, he stressed that soldiers, as defenders of the nation’s territorial integrity, must safeguard their country and their minds and bodies.

He encouraged those struggling with addiction to seek help and support one another in overcoming such challenges.

Iheme noted that substance abuse often begins subtly but can quickly spiral into a destructive force that strains relationships, weakens individuals, and threatens operational effectiveness.

In response, the chief of Civil-Military Affairs, Major General Gold Chibisi, commended Iheme’s initiative and described his message as timely and inspiring.

He appreciated the actor’s efforts in addressing the troops and reinforcing the importance of mental and physical readiness in the military.

“Your words serve as a reminder that we are not alone in this fight,” Major General Chibisi said. “Together, we can overcome any challenge, including the threat of drug abuse.”

The interaction underscored the need for continuous awareness and support systems to ensure soldiers remain focused and prepared to serve the nation effectively.
