A video of soldiers and policemen exchanging blows in Ekiti over traffic violations, has been making the rounds on social media.
In the video, almost half a dozen policemen were seen with guns on one hand, while engaging soldiers in combat with the other fist.
Netizens who shared the video on X claimed the fight was triggered by a traffic violation. “Embarrassing as Policemen, Soldiers Fight In Public Over Traffic Violation In Ekiti,” a post on X, accompanying the video read.
In Nigeria, Police and soldiers have a history of engaging in street fights in show of superiority.
Early this year, a Task Force Team of the Lagos State Police Command, got into a street fight with a soldier in Ijaya, Apongbon area of Lagos.
In a viral video, one military officer was seen trying to disarm a police officer after disagreement ensued between the two personnel. Colleagues of the soldiers and police joined the fray, and the whole place became rigorous.
