The fight started around 2p.m, not very far from Total filling station, at a junction called 2.2.

It was reported that the unidentified policeman, allegedly on illegal duty, hit the arm of one of the motorcycle riders with his baton, and supposedly dislocated the arm in the process.

Mr Daniel Ibe, the witness said, the cry of the injured motorcyclist attracted the attention of his colleagues, who parked near the scene of the incident, prompting a show of solidarity.

He said, “The policeman hit the motorcyclist with his stick because he refused to stop for the usual extortion, causing his bone to dislocate,”

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the clash between the duo causes traffic off the ever-busy Gado Nasko Road.

The commercial cyclists made a bonfire on the road, forcing road users to turn back on getting to the spot.

Policemen drafted to the troubled spot may have added to the anxiety in the air, as they shot several bullets in the air, even as the cyclists remained obstinate.

Divisional Police Officer of Kubwa Police Station came to the spot personally to appeal to the aggrieved motorcyclists.

The DPO invited them to his office for settlement, thereby dousing the tension and threat of violence.
