Pastor Abraham Olaluwoye, proprietor of Abraham Schools and founder of the PAO Educational Foundation, has launched an aggressive campaign against drug abuse, rising cultism, and sexual molestation among schoolchildren in Mushin and Odi-Olowo Ojuwoye communities.

The initiative, described as a decisive response to what organisers called a growing social pandemic, began with a major sensitisation event held on Thursday, February 12, 2026, at Agbayewa Secondary School Hall, Ilupeju. The programme was organised in partnership with private school proprietors across Mushin and Odi-Olowo Ojuwoye, with students from leading secondary schools in attendance.

The campaign aims to address the alarming increase in anti-social behaviours among teenagers, including substance abuse, cult-related activities, and peer-to-peer sexual harassment. Speakers at the event approached the topic holistically, offering practical solutions while emphasising the role of students in curbing the trend within their schools and communities.

A Director of Public Prosecutions in Lagos State, Barrister Ruguayat Owolabi, addressed the students from a legal perspective. She clarified what constitutes drug abuse, sexual molestation, and cultism under the law, stressing that these acts are criminal offences with serious consequences. She urged students to remain firm and speak out whenever they are pressured to engage in drugs or cult activities, and encouraged schools to create open and safe reporting platforms for victims of molestation or harassment.

Speaking with Mushines News, Barrister Owolabi emphasised that cultism can never lead to a positive future, describing young people as the future of the nation. She advised students to report any form of sexual harassment or abuse promptly, noting that speaking out not only protects them but also prevents others from becoming victims.

Another guest speaker, Dr. Afolabi Samuel Coker, warned students against being influenced by celebrities who glamorise drug use in music videos and social media. According to him, many of such public figures suffer long-term health consequences due to substance abuse. He explained several factors contributing to the rise in drug use and cultism among youths, challenging students to reject anti-social behaviours and refuse to see such lifestyles as admirable or aspirational.

In her remarks, Mrs. Modupe Olaluwoye, wife of the foundation’s founder, expressed gratitude to participating schools, partners, and stakeholders who supported the initiative. She disclosed that the campaign is only the beginning and will be expanded to include broader engagements and sustained interactions with students at different educational levels.

Also speaking at the event, Pastor Sunny Success of Headstones Church, a partner of the foundation, said the campaign was launched in response to the increasing involvement of schoolchildren in drug abuse, cultism, and molestation, often without understanding the long-term implications. He explained that the foundation decided to take proactive steps to sensitise young people, exposing them to the dangers of substance abuse and the severe consequences such actions could have on their present lives and future aspirations.

Some of the students spoke with Mushines and expressed appreciation to the organiser for opening their mind to the danger of drug abuse, cultism and sexual molestation, promised to be a good ambassadors by extending what the have learnt to other students and the peers at school and home

Organisers reaffirmed their commitment to working closely with schools, parents, religious institutions, and community leaders to stem the tide of these social vices and safeguard the future of young people in Mushin and Odi-Olowo Ojuwoye.
