Troops have allegedly killed one person in a raid on suspected drug dealer in an Adamawa village.
Reports from Lafiya Lamurde village indicated that the incident occurred when a combined team of National Drugs Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) operatives and soldiers arrested a patent medicine owner in the village on Thursday.
