The operative knocked down by the suspect vehicle “suffered multiple injuries all over his body and compound fracture on his two legs, for which he is currently on hospital admission for treatment.”
Femi Babafemi, the agency’s spokesperson, in a statement on Wednesday, said the suspect drove his “luxury car to crush an officer in his bid to escape arrest when operatives were on a search of his house last weekend.”
“In a dramatic twist, as soon as he drove into the premises and sighted NDLEA officers, he engaged his car in reverse gear, knocked down one of the officers, pulled down his gate before plunging the vehicle into the fence of the opposite compound,” the statement reads.
