Officers of the Nigerian police and air force engaged in fisticuffs and created quite the scene in Delta state this week.
In a video posted on X on Wednesday, operatives of both
security agencies could be seen exchanging blows, wrestling and brawling with
the butts of their guns — as passersby jeered, cheered and filmed.
In an X post,
Edafe Bright, Delta police spokesperson, said the incident occurred as police
officers transported a man found with substances suspected to be codeine,
Indian hemp, and Canadian loud.
He added that the air force personnel, who allegedly knew
the suspect, intercepted the police officers and demanded his release.
“The policemen attached to QRS were on their way with a
suspect found in possession of substances suspected to be codeine, Indian Hemp,
Canadian loud,” the post reads.
“But the personnel of the air force who happen to know the
suspect, intercepted and insisted that the policemen must release them before
proceeding. Hence they attacked the policemen unprovoked.
“This issue is being attended. We recognise the cordial
relationship we have with the Nigerian Air Force in Delta State.
“The Delta State Police Command, under the leadership of CP
Olufemi Abaniwonda, and the Air Force authorities are looking into the incident
and putting measures in place to ensure that such a shameful event does not
happen again.”
