NDLEA Official Newlywed Burnt Alive in Kaduna

In Kaduna State’s Igabi Local Government Area, a mob cruelly killed Aliyu Imran, a recently married National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) agent.
It was discovered that a vengeful crowd in the Gadan-Gayan area of Igabi LGA set Imran, the Assistant Superintendent of Narcotic 1, on fire.
According to reports, this incident happened after a car that Imran and his coworkers were chasing was involved in a crash that claimed lives.

At least three people were killed when the culprit tried to elude capture by reversing his car while the cop and his crew were pursuing him, according to reports.
Imran apparently stepped in to defuse the situation, but the mob attacked him after he did so.

While the Officer in Charge (OC) sought for help, he was stabbed.

According to accounts cited by the media outlet, a brave police officer took him to a nearby hospital, but the crowd then stormed the hospital, dragged him out, and burned him.

The grieving family of Imran has voiced their displeasure and accused the NDLEA of failing to release a statement, offer them condolences, or provide them with compensation.

“Some NDLEA agents conducted an operation in Gadan-Gayan on Friday. They’re hiding it. This is our organization. Are you aware of what they typically do? In the event of an accident such as this one in which an officer is killed or involved, the NDLEA will attempt to conceal the incident in order to avoid providing the deceased family with compensation.

The suspect reversed and began driving away from the patrolling officers while some of them were on patrol.

The officers then pursued the car that was attempting to flee from them using their own vehicle. As a result, four individuals were killed in an accident involving the car they were pursuing.

Aliyu Imran, one of our policemen, descended to try to defuse the situation when they arrived. Then he began to be attacked. I have personally been in a similar circumstance in the past.Usually, you leave right away if you notice that things are becoming tense.

The OC (Officer-in-Charge), who oversaw the operation, began to say, “Okay,” when he came down to try to defuse the situation. You should all inbox each other. As in, let’s go. Saying “inbox” indicates that you should get into your car and let’s go.

Thus, they left Aliyu Imran there during the process. He was stabbed by those people. According to the report, one of the police officers there stabbed him and then rode him to a nearby hospital for treatment.

He claimed that the crowd dragged the NDLEA officer out and burned him alive after following the officers to the hospital.

The tragic development was further conveyed by the source: “You know what’s heartbreaking? Last December, he got married. Yesterday (Saturday), while they were burying him, his wife passed out.

“The mob became aggressive as Aliyu got out of the car to try to defuse the situation. I’ve been in similar mob scenarios during operations, so I know how these things get out of hand. The best course of action as tensions increase is to depart right away.

They abandoned Aliyu Imran in the confusion. He was repeatedly stabbed by the mob as they attacked him.

In an attempt to save his life, a policeman rode his bike to a neighboring hospital. However, when Aliyu was still struggling to survive, the same crowd broke into the hospital, pulled him out, and set him on fire.

“His family has received no assistance from the agency. The incident has not even been formally addressed by them. Similar incidents have occurred in the past, and NDLEA has previously concealed them.

According to the source, this is not the first time a cop has died while performing their duties.

He pointed out that these incidents frequently go unreported, leaving the families with little to no compensation.

Following the tragic incident, NDLEA spokesperson Femi Babafemi denied allegations that the organization fails its fallen officers.

He confirmed that the agency chairman is speaking with the dead officer’s family directly.

“A delegation from the agency’s headquarters, headed by the director of operations and general investigations, is currently in Kaduna to visit with the family as I speak with you. Furthermore, the chairman had already sent another commander. Therefore, the allegation that the family has been abandoned is untrue.

“The management has suspended the commander in question as a further indication of how seriously the organization takes this issue. Do you get it?

“The probe is still ongoing. The agency is still in constant communication with the family and is conducting a full investigation into the incident. He was cited as saying, “We are working hard to find out what happened after the tragedy.
