State following a minor misunderstanding between the army and
the police in the state.
The policeman, Abbas Haladu was said to have met the soldiers
who barricaded the entrance leading to the Emir’s palace near
the Roundabout at about 7am when they descended on him,
beating him mercilessly.
Source gathered that Haladu’s left hand was reportedly broken
by the soldiers allegedly led by a Sergeant.
According to Source,the soldiers had barricaded the road at about
8pm on Tuesday as a security measure to forestall any breakdown
of law and order. It was learnt that Corporal Haladu who was in
mufti was stopped from going to the Emir’s palace where he was
posted to commence duty for the day.
Trouble started for the corporal when he was asked by the soldiers
to identify himself which he did, but the soldiers on duty who were
already reportedly angry insisted that he would not pass through
the barricade to the Emir’s palace.
