There was pandemonium in Lagos, yesterday, as suspected drug peddlers attacked officers of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, who had gone to arrest a female drug baron.
The incident, which took place on Lagos Island, saw the suspects known as Patey Boys attacking the operatives with guns, bottles and stones.
In one of the videos, a man was seen lying in a pool of his blood while two others who appeared lifeless were being carried in a cart.
While these happened, passersby were seen running for safety, just as shop owners were seen taking cover in their shops.
According to an unconfirmed report, five people were killed in the incident, which disrupted commercial activities in the area.
Giving an account of what transpired, Director, Media and Publicity of NDLEA, Mr. Femi Babafemi, said operatives of the agency had gone to arrest a suspected kingpin, Mrs. Sherifat Kehinde Lawal, who was said to have turned the area into a drug haven.
