Drug War: Unidentified Security Personnel Allegedly Open Fire on NDLEA Operatives in Lagos Rebecca Ejifoma Unidentified security agents last Tuesday night allegedly opened fire on operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLE
Unidentified security agents last Tuesday night allegedly opened fire on operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency on Awolowo Road in Lagos to ‘forcefully release the driver of an illicit drug-laden truck’.
In his maiden briefing at the NDLEA’s Lagos office in Gbagada, the new Lagos State Commander, Mr. Umar Adoro, explained that acting on intelligence, “we ambushed the truck. “When the truck driver and the vehicle were intercepted, unidentified security agents appeared and insisted that the truck must be allowed to continue its movement. We said where, and they could not tell us.”
While commending other security agents for their support in the war against drugs, Adoro recalled that last December, 51 suspects were arrested in 10 raids, while 7,295.103 kilogrammes of various drugs were recovered.
