There was palpable tension at a checkpoint near an Air Force base as Nigerian soldiers and policemen engaged in a heated physical altercation, briefly disrupting traffic.
A now-viral video, shared by IntelRegion, captured the moment a soldier and a policeman were locked in a fierce struggle on a busy road.
The situation escalated when other soldiers intervened, dragging a police officer toward the Air Force base as he resisted.
While the cause of the clash remains unclear, the footage has sparked widespread reactions, with many questioning the recurring tensions between security agencies.
However, an X user speculated that the background resembled the Air Force base at Jeddo, near Warri Refinery in Delta State.
The incident has sparked widespread reactions online, with Nigerians expressing concerns about the deteriorating relationship between the two security agencies.
Alabi Ade Wale on Facebook lamented: “This country has turned into something else. How can two government officers be fighting each other? It’s not proper and needs to be thoroughly checked.”
Doris Osuiwu criticized the officers, saying: “What a shame! Just look at the shameless individuals wasting my tax money.”
Kenny Momoh added: “Imagine our gallant officers displaying their physical strength in such a disgraceful manner.”
@Rae_Otu on X raised security concerns: “I don’t think Nigerians realize how dangerous this is… Those are six grown men with AK-47s.”
@BlossomClaris remarked: “Nigeria Jagajaga, everything scatter scatter. A very lawless society where everybody behaves anyhow.
