To fall victim of a violent mob is one of the most unpalatable experiences that any law enforcement officer, could go through.
Two officers of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), who found themselves in such a situation, are still writhing in pain in the hospital,
Not only did they sustain severe injuries, they are still recovering in hospital following a violent mob attack on them during a raid on a notorious drug joint in the Dawaki area of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.
That was on Friday, 15, May 2026, with the severity of the attack, prompting the NDLEA Chairman/Chief Executive Officer Brigadier-General, Mohamed Buba Marwa (Rtd), paying a get-well visit to two gallant officers.
Marwa extending the support of the entire NDLEA management, assured them that the agency would take full responsibility for their welfare.
He promised they would receive the highest standard of medical care until they are fully recovered and back on their feet.
”The agency will leave no stone unturned in ensuring that those responsible for this cowardly attack are arrested, and brought to justice.
“An attack on our officers is an attack on the state, and it will not go unpunished,” Marwa stated while assuring the officers that they will get justice.
