The spokesman revealed that the intervention of the military men situated at the Military Hospital in the area aided the recovery of the trucks and drugs.
Babafemi said, “The gunshot attracted the military men who supported the NDLEA team. That was the point the suspected fake security agents escaped with the suspects. But we were able to recover the trucks and the drugs.” Responding to whether the injured operatives were hospitalised, the spokesman said, “I will need to cross-check that with the command in Lagos. I’m yet to get a comprehensive report.
“I’ve been getting snippets of the incident as it unfolds, since the early hours of this morning. I didn’t know it is something that will leak to the media.Decrying the rates of attack on NDLEA operatives, Babafemi added, “This is not the first time. The same thing happened in November. It’s very unfortunate.”All rights reserved.
