According to Punch, some NDLEA operatives stormed the area were in the area to arrest the woman and had even made an entry in the police records before carrying out their assignment.

However, just as they were going about their operation, the policemen from the Ekeki Police Division obstructed the NDLEA operatives and it resulted in an altercation.

It was gathered that two operating vehicles of the NDLEA were shot in the process by the police to prevent the agency from taking the suspect away.

The eyewitness further stated that it was as if the police were allegedly providing cover for the drug suspect to carry out her drug business in the vicinity of the police division.

“Our men went for an operation behind the Ekeki Police Division. Our man made an entry at the police station,” he said.

On the shooting, Oba said, “They shot two of our vehicles and we are trying to see how we can take them out.”
