The NDLEA Director, Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, in a statement on Sunday, said the suspect who was earlier arrested in Mubi, Adamawa State, on February 22, mobilised thugs to attack the agency’s officials and set him free.

He said, “In Adamawa State, the house of a wanted notorious drug dealer, Mamudu Njobdi, at Sebore, Gyalla Road Dougada ward, Mubi, was raided in the early hours of February 27 where he was arrested and drug exhibits recovered.

“The 31-year-old suspect was earlier arrested on February 22 at his drug joint in Kolere Water Board but mobilised thugs to attack NDLEA officers and in the process escaped with exhibits.”
