During the raid, they recovered 74 bottles of codeine, 10 litres of codeine syrup, 48 grammes of tramadol, 225mg and 4.9 kilogrammes of skunk, a strain of cannabis, as well as five android phones.

As the NDLEA team made their way out of the location, they were attacked with guns.
Three of the NDLEA personnel involved in the raid sustained gunshot injuries: one in the rib and two others on their back and leg.

The injured officers were initially stabilised at the Police Clinic in Garki Area 1 before being transferred to the National Hospital Abuja for further medical attention.

Reacting to the incident, the Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of NDLEA, Brig. Gen. Mohammed Buba Marwa (retd), expressed appreciation to the staff of the Police Clinic for their prompt support. He also thanked the Chief Medical Director of the National Hospital who he personally reached out to for overseeing the treatment of the wounded officers.

Despite being in Kano on official engagements, the NDLEA boss spoke on the phone with the injured officers to wish them a quick recovery. He assured them that the agency would deploy every means at its disposal and work in collaboration with other security agencies to apprehend those responsible for the attack.
