Three officers of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency were wounded in a daring attack by unknown gunmen during a drug raid in the Jahi area of Abuja on Friday.
The officers came under fire after conducting an operation on an uncompleted building where they recovered bottles of codeine, tramadol, skunk, and other banned substances based on earlier intelligence.
According to NDLEA spokesman Femi Babafemi, the team was ambushed as they exited the scene.
The injured personnel were rushed to the Police Clinic in Garki and later moved to the National Hospital for advanced medical attention.
Chairman of the agency, Brigadier General Buba Marwa retired, expressed gratitude to medical teams for their prompt intervention.
He also spoke with the wounded officers, offering words of encouragement and prayers for their recovery.
Vowing that justice would be served, Marwa assured the public that the NDLEA will partner with other security agencies to hunt down the perpetrators of the attack.
