A Lekki Lagos-based notorious drug dealer, Sowunmi Ayodeji Kayode, has knocked down an operative of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\nThe operative suffered multiple injuries all over his body and compound fracture on his two legs, for which he is currently on hospital admission for treatment.<\/p>\n

In his bid to escape arrest when operatives were on a search of his house last weekend, drove his luxury car to crush the NDLEA officer.<\/p>\n

Femi Babafemi, Director, Media and Advocacy of NDLEA, in a statement on Wednesday, August 23 stated that the suspect is now on the run.<\/p>\n

Anti-narcotics officers of the Agency had on Friday 18th August stormed the residence of the wanted drug dealer located at 2\/3 Adetola Ayeni close, Lekki, Lagos for a search and possible arrest following credible intelligence that he was dealing in illicit drugs in his house.<\/p>\n

Although he was not in the house when operatives got into his compound, he however returned while a search of his apartment was ongoing.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn a dramatic twist, as soon as he drove into the premises and sighted NDLEA officers, he engaged his car in reverse gear, knocked down one of the officers, pulled down his gate before plunging the vehicle into the fence of the opposite compound.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe force of his car\u2019s speed also pulled down the concrete wall of his neighbour\u2019s compound and from there he dived out of the vehicle to escape.\u201d<\/p>\n

Babafemi stated that a thorough search of Kayode\u2019s apartment however led to the recovery of 10.5 kilogrammes of Loud.<\/p>\n

Following the unpleasant development, Chairman\/Chief Executive Officer of NDLEA, Brig.-Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (Retd) has directed the deployment of appropriate operational assets of the Agency to smoke out the wanted suspect from his hiding.<\/p>\n

Marwa also approved adequate medical care for the injured officer so that he can get back on his feet as soon as possible.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
