PANDEMONIUM broke out, Monday, in Koko, Warri North Local Government Area, Delta State, as soldiers attacked and injured police officers from Delta State Police Command, who were on escort duty with the state Commissioner for Poverty Alleviation, Dr. Anthonia Ashiedu.

The soldiers beat a police corporal, who drove one of the police vehicles, to pulp for allegedly blaring siren in the premises of the Warri North Local Government Council, which is close to a military outpost.

The corporal fainted because of the severe beating and was rushed to hospital for medical attention.
At press time, junior police police officers were spoiling for a showdown with soldiers in the state, saying it has become a tradition for soldiers to attack police officers in the state without justifiable reason.
State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Ikechukwu Aduba, confirmed to Vanguard when contacted, saying the soldiers accused the police officers of blaring siren inside the secretariat of the council.

He said: “It is sheer brutality. I have reported the matter to the Inspector General of Police and contacted army authorities in the state, but they said they did not authorise the assault.

“They told us that there is no bad blood, but there is bad blood. Why did they attack fellow uniformed men in such a manner in the course of their duty? We are making a formal report on the incident.

“My stand is that the soldiers responsible for this attack should be fished out and made to face the music.”

A source who spoke to Vanguard said: “The police officers from the B’ Operations Department of the Delta State Police Command were on escort duty with the Commissioner for Poverty Alleviation, Dr. Anthonia Ashiedu. It was an empowerment programme for the less privileged by the state government and because she was carrying some money for the programme, they requested police escort.

The frog jump
“As it is usual on such occasion, the siren was on when they entered the premises of Warri North Local Government Coucil and about eight soldiers came from a nearby outpost and asked the police driver, Corporal Ekome, to frog-jump.

“The police officer that led the team came to tell the soldiers that they should stop the confrontation, but the soldiers attacked him, seized his rifle and tore the button on his uniform.

“With the atmosphere charged, more soldiers joined their colleagues and insisted that the police driver must frog jump, which he resisted.

“The soldiers descended on him, ignoring the appeal from other police officers to stop creating a bad impression of Nigeria security officials in the eyes of the public.

“Some of the policemen wanted to retaliate, but were prevailed upon by the crowd, which watched the show of shame with dismay.

“The commissioner was shocked by the incident as she stood watching without knowing what to make out of the ugly show of power.”

A junior police officer said: “We are waiting to know what the Commissioner of Police and others will do on this matter. If they sweep it under the carpet, I can assure you that we will attack soldiers in isolated places in the state because this is own is getting too much.

“Come to think of it, the job of internal security is that of the police. If not overzealousness, what is wrong in the police blaring siren in the premises of a local government council? Is that a reason for soldiers to attack policemen?”

What's d position of d law on d use of siren?
IMO, dr is no case here. Or better still, d corp should also b santioned 4 going against d IG's order.
Common commisioner sef follow dey harras d average man.

Why did the police men disturb the peace with the use of siren? The soldiers should have cannibalized the car, poverty alleviation is another term for money laundering and theft, thief, thief commissioner get out of my face.

And they say our leaders are the only problm

This is uncalled for!!!
Aren't they "Brothers in arm" no more?

The police should also feel the heat of the extra-judicial killing and maltreatment they inflict on innocent Nigerians daily. I hope that corporal ends up in a body bag.

They fight soldiers, fight Navy, fight airforce, fight civilians and even fight themselves. .what kind of a cursed profession is the Nigeria police force ?

Soldier vs Police.
Shekau vs Me

[b][/b]soldiers are lyk animals

As long as it's not an innocent civillian. I feel no sympathy whatsoever for any maltreatment that befall policemen

lawlessness. go and show your power On boko haram and stop disgracing yourselves

it is illegal to use sirens if you are not the president/vice president/senate president/state Governor/ Speaker... well that serves the policeman right.. they can't keep going against the law

yhu and ur pastor, una nid serious hlp frm t.b joshua

These 'bush boys' should be dealt with fa. And d police self, must they announce that they r accompanying a commissioner? And to disturb the public and go against high orders,they need to be educated. All in all sha,our security agents need re orientation. We don tire for this kind news,abeg

;DI think this army people are gettin to overzealeous oo,let them go to borno or yobe to exert there military power on BK boys and leave police d so called friends of d citizen alone.
3rrd to kommente I think

It is a show of shame but at the same time, the Police deserves whatever they get from soldiers. I am not trying to take side or saying what the soldiers did was right but at the same time, the Police force has failed the masses countless times with the way they handle matters of public concern. The soldiers should be called to order and if the masses cant deal with the police, who else will?

IF POLICE WANT RESPECT, THEY TOO MUST RESPECT THEMSELVES BY OBEYING THE LAW. WHY ARE THEY BLOWING SIRENS? IF IT
WERE TO BE A CIVILIAN THEY WILL ROUGH HANDLE HIM, SO WHEN POLICE DEFAULTS, WHO WILL HELP US DEAL WITH HIM? THE ARMY HAS DONE THE NEEDFUL. THANKS.

joeey6: This is uncalled for!!!

They are not.

It is embarassing to say that it is not a new thing in this country that soldiers beat up policemen or vice versa. But this is sheer wickedness working in the children of disobedience in these last days. Woe betides our fatherland if these complications are not checked urgently.
