A Nigerian national was killed by police during a buy-bust operation last week in Concepcion, Tarlac that yielded some P13.6 million in shabu.
Killed was a certain Gabriel Onyechelula, said to be a member of the West African Syndicate which uses Filipinos as drug mules.
Anti-drug operatives claimed they were forced to fire at Onyechelula in self-defense when he pulled out his gun after sensing he was trapped in a sting.
