ARMED MEN OPEN FIRE ON NDLEA AGENTS IN LAGOS
By Adeniyi Onaara
Armed men opened fire on National Drug Law Enforcement Agency operatives on Awolowo road on Monday night, attempting to prevent them from arresting the driver of a truck loaded with several bags of cannabis.
According to a source, the armed men, who are believed to be from an unidentified security agency, also smashed one of the anti-narcotics agency’s operational vehicles.
However, the intervention of some military men prevented a bloodbath, as the armed men fled the scene with the truck’s driver, abandoning the truck.
