Police have issued a full apology after a university lecturer's Newcastle home was mistakenly raided in a bungled drugs search.
Doctor Ike Ogbar, a senior lecturer in marketing at Northumbria University, was handcuffed after police in helmets and riot clothing smashed their way into his home with a battering ram.
The 35-year-old, originally from Nigeria, saw his wife and three children rounded up in their home on Weidner Road, in the Benwell area of the city, by officers who had been told the family were part of a Vietnamese drugs ring.
