The affected soldier was said to be a victim of a ‘stop and search’ operation usually embarked upon by officers of the police station every night in front of their Mokola office. The soldier was reportedly shot on the ankle for refusing to heed the order of a police officer who stopped his vehicle. The development infuriated his colleagues, who stormed the station and manhandled policemen on duty, beating them with belts for few minutes before they left for their barracks.
Officers at the station called for re-enforcement, which did not arrive until the soldiers left. As at late afternoon, the mobilised policemen had taken over some strategic areas close to the station, shooting sporadically and causing traffic gridlock. Police sources said a soldier was later arrested and was taken to the police headquarters in handcuffs.
The Oyo State Police Public Relations Officer, Olabisi Ilobanafor, confirmed the incident. She said the soldier that was arrested has been handed over to Army authorities.
