An army colonel has given the commissioner of police in Borno State a black eye after elbowing the police boss while saluting the Governor.
Governor Kashim Shettima
Damian Chukwu, Borno State Commissioner of Police, has been hospitalised as a result of an eye injury he suffered when an Army Colonel attempted to salute Governor Kashim Shettima.
The Cable reports that the incident took place at the Borno Government House.
Chukwu sustained serious eye injuries as a result of the impact of the Colonel’s elbow.
The Commissioner remains at a Kaduna eye hospital, where he has been receiving treatment for the past few days.
“Officers of the Borno Police Command were all in a sad mood, following the incident’, a source told The Cable.
“The CP was close to the Army Colonel at the time he was to salute Governor Kashim Shettima. His elbow mistakenly hit the right eye of the CP and immediately his eye became swollen and bloodshot.
“He was taken to a Kaduna hospital, where he stayed for some time to be treated. He has been in Kaduna for almost seven days now and he is now doing better”, the source said.
