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.
