There was a breakdown of inter-agency cooperation in Lagos earlier today as a group of soldiers got into physical combat with policemen.
The incident happened this morning, Jan. 18, at Ijaya, Apongbon, in Lagos State.
The cause of the altercation could not be ascertained, but reports indicated that it is related to traffic and the policemen are attached to a task force.
A soldier can be seen in a viral clip trying to disarm a policeman who put up a serious fight.
They throw a few punches at each other and head-butted each other as they try to take possession of the rifle originally held by the policeman.
In the struggle, a shot rang out, but luckily, no one was hit in the vicinity. Hopefully, the shot did not hit someone further away from the scene of the fight.
The policemen eventually freed themselves after spraying tear gas.
“Na God go punish you,” the uniformed men say as they disperse.
