The family of 22-year-old Gafaru Yusuf has been thrown into mourning after operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency allegedly shot him and Emmanuel Olomowewe dead in the Idioro area of Mushin, Lagos State.

“But the NDLEA operatives started shooting to have their way and stray bullets hit two young boys in the head and chest. Both of them died on the spot.”

“It is uncalled for; they suddenly stormed the area with guns and started shooting. Gafar Yusuf, 22, was killed on Imoru Street. We are already making arrangements to bury his corpse. We heard three people were killed during the raid but what I can confirm to you for now is the death of two persons.”

In one of the video clips, our correspondent observed residents in the area shedding tears as they surrounded the corpses of the victims. Contacted, the spokesperson for the NDLEA, Femi Babafemi, said the operatives stormed the area to arrest a drug baron, adding that some suspects were arrested and illicit drugs recovered.
