A raid by operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA in Bakassi, left a teenager shot in the stomach on Wednesday after officials opened fire to escape a crowd of locals.
Bakassi is located at the southernmost part of Cross River State. The Local Government Area has been the focus of international and national boundary disputes.
According to witnesses, the NDLEA operatives were surrounded by locals after their raid and opened fire to force their way out. A bullet hit a teenage boy who was watching the events unfold.
