The
National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has launched a manhunt for a Lekki
Lagos-based notorious drug dealer, Sowunmi Ayodeji Kayode.
This was
announced in a statement issued on Wednesday by Femi Babafemi, the Director,
Media and Advocacy, NDLEA Headquarters, Abuja.
According
to the statement, Kayode, who is now on the run, crushed an NDLEA officer with
his luxury vehicle in his bid to escape arrest when operatives were on a search
of his house last weekend.
Recall
that NDLEA officers had last Friday 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.
But
Kayode was not in the house when the anti-narcotics officers got into his
compound.
The drug
dealer, however, returned while a search of his apartment was ongoing.
In 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
and pulled down his gate before plunging the vehicle into the fence of the
opposite compound.
The
force of his car’s speed also pulled down the concrete wall of his neighbour’s
compound and from there he dived out of the vehicle to escape.
