The Nigerian Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has explained why its operatives visited Lagos Island area of Lagos State on Saturday.

The agency explained that its operatives storm*d Lagos Island to arrest a female drug kingpin.

Although the agency did not disclose her name or details, it noted that she was arrested alongside five others with almost 6,000kg of drugs.

The Nation reports there was pandemonium when operatives of the agency storm*d areas including Patey, Dumare, Tapa, Freeman, and its environs.

In one of the videos, there were sporadic shootings as suspected hoodlums engaged the operatives.

It was learned that there were casualti*s but The Nation cannot independently verify how many people got killed in the face-off between the operatives and the suspected hoodlums.

“Truth is our operatives went for the arrest of a major drug kingpin and we got her and 5 others with almost 6,000kg of drugs despite att@cks on our men.”
