Armed & Plainclothes Policemen Clash At Oshodi-Apapa Expressway by Tolexander: 10:23pm On Oct 23, 2013
There was pandemonium, Wednesday, at Kirikiri area of Lagos State, when some armed policemen manning a checkpoint at Berger Yard Bus Stop, on Oshodi-Apapa Expressway, were attacked by plainclothes policemen suspected to be from the Command’s X-Squad.

An eyewitness told Vanguard that the incident, which occurred at 2p.m., sent people scampering for safety as the plainclothes officers struggled with the policemen.

An eyewitness, Francis Okonta, described the incident as a shame and called on the police authorities to look into the situation and prevent a re-occurrence.

He said: “The plainclothes policemen did not display professionalism. I do not know why they were arresting the policemen at the check point, but the way they went about is was too bad.

“A policeman refused to let go of his rifle and he almost fired some shots.

“The plainclothes officers endangered the lives of those policeman and that of members of the public. They also disgraced the force.”

This is one reason I always warn people who likes to argue with these guys to leave them alone. Their gross mentality is just below normal. They can do anything. All around the country, same report about them everyday. I wonder what change normal people to animals after joining the police force. Hardly before you can find someone that can think normally in the police force. Shame on them!!!

Stories like this make me miss my beloved country soooooo much, only in Nigeria will things like this happen. At least no stray bullets hit any innocent bystanders so it's all good.

I think d plain cloths policemen were trying 2 arrest d uniformed men cos of d illegal police check points which d ig has told all policemen 2 stop erecting.
The only sad thing here is dis is not supposed 2 be happening in a sane country.wat would have happened if dre was an accidental discharge of bullet?

Now imagine this news, Armed and plain cloth police men clash in New york city...forces of the NYPD blah blah blah...

Ridiculous right?!! That is how foolish Nigeria is. If a policeman can clash with a fellow armed brother-in-arms that he swore to have his back in the line of fire. What is our fate then?

But the sweetest part will be when the police PRO issues a statement tomorrow!!!
