It was learnt that three officials of the NDLEA were on duty in the area known for illicit drug activities on Friday when the attack was carried out.
An eyewitness who did not want his name in print for security reasons said the NDLEA operatives had arrested a suspected drug dealer in the area popularly known as ‘50’ and were taking him to a waiting patrol van stationed at a nearby street along Ikwerre Road Iheoma Street when some suspected cultists attacked them.
The source said a few minutes later, more hoodlums wielding bottles and other weapons started pelting the NDLEA officials with some of them sustaining injuries.
“The NDLEA men fired some shots into the air, but the cult boys were still stoning and they eventually aided the escape of the suspect before the NDLEA patrol van arrived at the scene,” he said.
