A Lagos-based alleged notorious drug dealer, Sowunmi Ayodeji Kayode, has been declared wanted by operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).

The agency in a statement on Wednesday, August 23, said the drug dealer took to his heels after using his car to crush an NDLEA officer in his bid to escape arrest when operatives were on a search of his house last weekend.

“Anti-narcotics officers of the Agency had on Friday 18th August stormed the residence of the wanted drug dealer located at 2/3 Adetola Ayeni close, Lekki, Lagos for a search and possible arrest following credible intelligence that he was dealing in illicit drugs in his house.

In a dramatic twist, as soon as he drove into the premises and sighted NDLEA officers, he engaged his car in reverse gear, knocked down one of the officers, pulled down his gate before plunging the vehicle into the fence of the opposite compound.
