Over 300 youth addicted to Kush and related narcotics substances have been cured by a traditional herbalist, Mr. Hassan Kamara who resides at No.5 Consider Lane, Calaba Town in the east end of Freetown.
Mr. Hassan’s residence has now become a rehabilitation centre as it is presently accommodating over 30 youths waiting to be healed.
These sick youths from different parts across the country were brought to the rehabilitation home by their parents who got wind about the existence of the center and the power of Mr. Kamara to heal such sickness.
In an interview with Mr. Hassan Kamara, he said he has been a traditional herbalist for some time and cures mental deranged persons, witchcraft and impotency among other ailments. He said Kush has been a serious issue for the state through which hundreds of millions of Leones have been spent to sensitize the general public about it and related harmful substances. He said to date neither government nor organization or individual have found appropriate solution to its cure except him lamenting further that amidst his effort and popularity no authority has ever visited his rehabilitation centre to talk with the affected persons, noting that he does not only cure Kush victims but also help them to totally refrain from its consumption after treatment.
Mr. Kamara said immediately an addict is brought to the home for cure, his first indication is to first of all diagnose which normally leaves them in a state of unrest.
The second is to disarm all the infections in the membrane which if not cured will result to the patients changing attitudes and behavior which are seen as abnormal. He says that all the youths in the home upon consuming the medication becomes normal and ever appetitive.
Meanwhile, he said he has turned down many youths who are brought to the home because of lack of space.
“I have a piece of land adjacent to my house but I want assistance from government, both local and international NGOs and other humanitarian groups to construct a much more larger centre to accommodate the increasing public demand,” Mr. Kamara appealed in conclusion.
