Personnel of the Nigerian military were seen engaging in a free-for-all in Bayelsa State during the visit of Bola Ahmed Tinubu yesterday.
In a trending 53-second video, a driver of a Hilux vehicle marked “Naval Police” was seen stepping down from his vehicle and exchanging words with another driver, reports Saturday PUNCH.
Moments later, after returning to his vehicle, a soldier bearing a rifle approached and threw a punch at the Naval Police driver, triggering a brawl.
The incident quickly escalated into a free-for-all, with personnel attached to both vehicles exchanging blows, while stunned civilians watched in disbelief.
The cause of the altercation could not be immediately ascertained as of press time.
The clash reportedly occurred as the President was leaving the venue of an official event during his visit to the state.
President Tinubu was in Bayelsa to commission projects, where he reaffirmed his administration’s resolve to tackle insecurity across the country.
He pledged sustained investment in the nation’s armed forces, stating that his government would continue to equip and train security personnel to confront insurgency, banditry, and other violent threats.
