A company driver, Moruf Haruna, has died after he was
allegedly kicked in the stomach by an officer of the National Drug Law
Enforcement Agency in the Abaji area of Kogi State.
It was learnt that on Saturday, at about 5am, Haruna was
stopped around Abaji, about 30 kilometres from the Federal Capital Territory by
the NDLEA officers, the officers were said to have ordered Haruna to produce
his papers, which he did, and afterwards asked him to open the truck for a
search.
It was gathered that Haruna was allegedly reluctant, during
which one of the NDLEA officers, whose name had yet to be ascertained, kicked
him in the stomach.
He reportedly fell and became unconscious, as the NDLEA
officers took him to a hospital in Abuja for medical treatment but he died on
Monday, a few hours after he was discharged.
