Drug dealers beat Anambra man to coma for revealing hideout to NDLEA

Some drug dealers operating be­tween Nnewi and Nnobi, in Anambra State have beaten a man to stupor for informing the Nigeria Drug Law Enforce­ment Agency (NDLEA) of their nefarious activities in the area.

According to a report by Independent, for some time now, the ND­LEA had been chasing after the drug peddlers and their patro­nisers about and they had also arrested some of them in the area.

The drug pushers number­ing over 25 persons were said to have beaten the man identified as Ajapa, a chicken garnishee at Nnobi abattoir.

The drug dealers reportedly descended on him and knocked him to coma.

Sources said the drug ped­dlers accused Ajapa of inviting men of the NDLEA to their residence and hideout located close to the abattoir, a thing that pro­voked them to anger.

The drug dealers were said to have beaten the man as a warning to deter him and any other hid­den informants from making the mistake next time.

Ajapa was reportedly rescued to the hospital by some good Samar­itans who rushed to the place.
