One killed as NDLEA, hoodlums clash in Taraba

One person was killed while six others, including a nine-month-old baby, sustained varying degrees of injuries following a clash between operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) and some hoodlums in Jalingo, Taraba state capital.

The incident happened at the ATC area of Jaling when the NDLEA operatives attempted to arrest some suspects at a hideout where they were alleged to be dealing in illicit drugs.

Spokesperson of the Taraba Police Command, ASP Usman Abdullahi, confirmed the incident.
