A policeman dressed in mufti, Friday morning, created an ugly scene at Railway Junction, Dugbe area in Ibadan, Oyo state as he fought with officials of Federal Road Safety Commission and Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, who attempted to arrest him after violating traffic laws by making calls while driving, according to the Nigerian Tribune.
An eye witness account said when FRSC officials attempted to flag him down, an argument ensued after which the policeman was said to have thrown a canister of tear gas in a bid to escape.
However, NSCDC officers on patrol arrived the scene and accosted the police officer for assaulting fellow law enforcement agents, but the erring police officer was said to have called for back up, which upon arrival, beat up the NSCDC officer on ground, and seized their vehicle.
Police officers thereafter invaded the command office of NSCDC at Railway Junction, a situation which eventually became messy.
