It was reported that the Law graduate was about boarding a canoe on Sunday when some officers of the NDLEA stormed the area in two unregistered vehicles.


According to an eye witness,  the officers of NDLEA who had come to arrest a suspected drug dealer, Saheed, began shooting sporadically into the air, sending frightened residents scampering for safety.
