The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, Mohamed Buba Marwa, has ordered the arrest and prosecution of those responsible for attacking two officers of the agency during an operation in the Federal Capital Territory.
The injured officers, Ayegh Dooyun Zachariah and Shehu Jamil Ibrahim, are currently receiving treatment at the National Hospital, Abuja, after sustaining severe injuries during a mob attack while raiding a suspected drug joint in the Dawaki area of Abuja on May 15, 2026.
According to a statement on Tuesday by the agency’s spokesman, Femi Babafemi, Marwa gave the directive on Monday during a visit to the officers at the hospital, where he sympathised with them and assured them of the agency’s support.
“The agency will leave no stone unturned in ensuring that those responsible for this cowardly attack are arrested and brought to justice.
