It was a Theatre of absurd at the Ademola Adetokumbo area of
Wuse 2, Abuja on Thursday when two Traffic Police Officers on duty were engaged
in a serious brawl, scaring motorists, as many were forced to make a U-Turn in
order to avoid having their wheel screen smashed by the two angry police
officers.
The Officers who were simply identified as Mr. Ishaku, a
police Constable and Mr. Ewema Pesters were on duty in a busy junction located
immediately after City Park with other Traffic Police Officers where they got
engaged in a heavy fight.
The officers who were determined to kill each other were
seen hitting themselves with sticks and stones, while their fellow police
officers stood afar to watch what our reporter had termed “Bizarre Theatre.”
The fight, which lasted for over 30 minutes, attracted some
mobile police officers to the scene, who were able to bring it to a temporary
halt, even as the duo continued to hit each other intermittently in the pool of
their own blood.
The mobile Police officer who was at the scene had expressed
his anger over the wild attitude of the two Policemen, and immediately called
the Zone 3 Police station, asking for more policemen at the scene of the
incident in order to pick up the two officers.
Despite the questions from our correspondents and others
within the area on what could have led to such shameful fight, the two officers
remained mummed, but continued to attack each other while the mobile Policeman
remained in their midst, holding firm unto their torn uniforms.
However, one of the officers at the scene of the incident
had squealed that the officers who were on morning duty had earlier disagreed
over the sharing of money made from traffic defaulters after they had closed
from work. This, he said led to intense argument, that eventually led to the
fight.
