The movement, led by CIG president, Amb. Felix Duke, saw the group moving through major streets in Ikeja axis, with DJ providing music for the strength of the soul, as the walkers distributed fliers to members of the public, particularly the youths, warning them against illicit drugs.
Amb. Duke told the gathering that the purpose of the walk was to create awareness for the conference coming up on Tuesday, December 28, at the National Stadium, Surulere.
He said the movement was a huge success and the purpose was achieved as many participated in the road walk-out.
