Two Nigerian drug barons have been killed in shootouts with the police in Pasig City, Philippines.

Emmanuel Christopher Chukwuma and Gabriel Onyechefula, were subjected to a drug bust in Concepcion, Tarlac on December 31, 2020. Gabriel was shot dead while Chukwuma escaped.

However, he ran out of luck on Monday afternoon, January 11, 2021, when the police invaded an inn along Escarpment Road in Barangay Bagong Ilog.

According to report, Chukwuma, upon sensing that he was dealing with police officers, grabbed the firearm of the poseur buyer. This prompted arresting police officers to shoot the suspect as an act of self-defense.
