A Young Man Named Moses Akanda was killed on Wednesday, March 20, at the Yenizue-Epie community in the Yenagoa Local Government Area of Bayelsa State.

The Victim was said to have been shot dead amid a chaotic situation triggered by the presence of armed operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, who stormed the area to arrest one Rebecca, a suspected drug dealer.

Residents of the area said that men of the NDLEA allegedly shot indiscriminately to ward off possible resistance and this led to the death of Moses Akande.

The community youth leadership alleged that men of the NDLEA shot at some community members during the confusion and killed Akanda in the process.

President of Yenizue-Epie community youths, Martins Obiriwonsi, while insisting that the deceased “was not known to be a consumer of drugs or a cultist,” demanded justice for him.

However, the State Command of NDLEA claimed that its officers who went to apprehend Rebecca were attacked by those it described as “cult groups and youths of Yenizue-Epie Community.”

A Statement signed by the command’s Public Relations Officer, DNS Daniel Obah, on Thursday, March 21, read, “Yesterday 20th March 2024 at about 1900hrs, officers of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, Bayelsa State Command, upon proper surveillance carried out and pre-purchase of cannabis sativa and crack cocaine made on the 15th of March, 2024, identified a notorious female drug dealer that goes by the name Rebecca at Yenizue-Epie.

“In the course of trying to effect her arrest, the officers were attacked by cult groups and youths of that community seized drug exhibits recovered and freed the said Rebecca. They were throwing bottles, stones and improvised explosive devices leading to an exchange of gunshots.

“However, the NDLEA officers were able to arrest one Abraham Aderin ‘m’ 14yrs who sparked the mob leaving the scene with several injuries to the office.

“The same cult groups and youths again in their numbers proceeded to attack the state command HQs, throwing bottles and improvised explosive devices, vandalising vehicles in the office, and dumping the lifeless body of a young man in front of the office.”

The State Commander of the NDLEA, Kanu Chukwuemeka, expressed sadness over the incident and condemned the youth for “aiding and abetting the commission of drug crimes, the bane of our insecurity problems, and obstructing the arrest of a suspect.”

The statement said the corpse of the deceased had been deposited at the mortuary of the Federal Medical Centre, Yenagoa, “pending investigation into the real cause of his death.”

Untrained Nigeria security personnel on the beat again in southern Nigeria , meanwhile in the north which is the headquarters of drug consumption and abuse. They always do eye's left because northerners are more citizen's of Nigeria than southerners.

Every security agent must go through psychiatric tests before they're allowed to hold a firearm

Ndlea dey do too mush… always acting like there’s a shot out every time they around….
Kilode? Now see

It was a misfired shot!

It was stray bullet!

But the man's time was up!

Even if that gun no kill am at that time, he do still die when his time is up!

O Allah! Grant us long life with plenty good deeds and take our soul when you are pleased with us!

Fight for your right

Nigeria will never be beta under tinubu, this man is vision less and have no direction. Everyday killing killing

There are ways to resolve issues rather than taking the law for granted.

The problem starts from the leaders.

How many politicians have been arrested for looting, drugs, rape and other cases.

But the common man is the only target by security agencies.

Its really unfortunate how things are going in this country presently , tensions are getting high day by day. RIP to the dead and i wish peace to return to the affected area as quickly as possible

😒😒 Residents of the area said that men of the NDLEA allegedly shot indiscriminately to ward off possible resistance and this led to the death of Moses Akande
RIP

Nigeria! A country of commotion and drama.

Why can't we just have a day of good news in this country!
All the more, it's painful and depressing that the ugly news are something that's avoidable and preventable!
Can't we just use our initiative to avoid and prevent these bad news everyday?

probably killed by a fellow ganga planter

Heard about it.
