NDLEA Repells attack, recovers Truck Load of Drugs in Lagos

Suspected gunmen numbering about 20 on Tuesday ambushed some National Drug Law Enforcement (NDLEA) operatives who were trailing a drug baron from the Agege area of Lagos Mainland.

The operatives were trying to intercept a truck conveying unknown quantities of Canadian Loud on Awolowo Road, Ikoyi, Lagos State around 1am when they came under a rain of gunfire but the attackers were repelled with the assistance of some soldiers.

However, the hoodlums escaped with the baron who had been on the watch-list of the drug agency for some time.

The incident is coming against the backdrop of the arrests of several drug lords and the crippling of their criminal enterprise, leading to seizures of huge quantities of narcotics and other illicit drugs.

The NDLEA recently froze 126 bank accounts belonging to a suspected drug lord, Nsofor Chukwukadibia.

The accounts domiciled in various commercial banks had cash inflows of N4.3bn and outflows of N7.9bn, while over N50bn had passed through them.

The NDLEA also confiscated 20 mansions belonging to the suspected drug baron located in Lagos, Abuja and the South-East.

However, the drug traffickers have been fighting hard against the drug agency’s onslaught by launching attacks on its operatives.

WE HAVE RESCUED ONE MORE VICTIM OF IGUEBEN TRAIN ATTACK

Another kidnapped victim of the Tom Ikimi train station attack has been rescued by the combined team of security operatives.

 

The Police Public Relations officer, SP Chidi Nwabuzor said that the victim was rescued by security agencies at a location inside the forest during the bush combing.

 

So far, 7 victims have regained their freedoms.

 

With the release of this victim, the number of those still in captivity now remains at 24 according to the account given by the Edo State commissioner of communication and orientation, Chris Nehikhare.

 

Gunmen had on January  7 attacked the train Station and abducted scores of passengers, a situation that called for serious concern about the safety of the nation’s rail transportation as a similar attack had happened at the Kaduna/ Abuja rail last year
