The National Dr¥g Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, has reacted to reports that its operatives sh%t two persons d£ad during a raid in the Idioro area of Mushin, Lagos State.
The deceaseds were reportedly sh%t d£ad when NDLEA operatives cl@shed with some dr¥g barons during a special raid of a notorious dr¥g cartel joint in the area on Wednesday night, July 26.
The agency’s spokesperson, Femi Babafemi, in a statement on Friday, July 28, said: “Our men last Wednesday night, went to Mushin to arrest baron behind shipments of dr¥gs that have been coming from Ghana.
After the arrest of some of the wanted suspects and recovery of dr¥gs and their vehicles, our men came under att@ck from their boys who had locked all the exit gates in the community and our officers had to defend themselves to come out of the area alive.
We have no information on if our a§§ailants s¥ffered any casualty. Meanwhile, we are on the track of the kingpin, called, Temo who narrowly escaped from the scene during the raid. The long arm of the law will soon catch up with him.
We arrested two males, Saheed Sholola, who hails from Ogun State and Suleiman Shehu, from Akoko Edo, Edo State and a lady (name withheld).
Also, bags of Cannabis Sativa, popularly called Indian Hemp, weighing 2,26 kilogram, as well as eight different brands of vehicles were impounded in the process.”
A video obtained shows one of the deceased laying in a pool of his own bl%%d after being sh%t on the head.
