About 19 Traffic Marshals working for the Gombe State Government
on Tuesday sustained various degrees of injuries in clashes with a
group of policemen in the state.
Babaji Dunama, General Manager of the Gombe State Agency for
Social Services and Other Related Matters, made the disclosure. He
said that the clashes followed a disagreement between the police
and the marshals at the Cross Roundabout in Gombe Town.
Mr. Dunama alleged that the marshals were attacked by the police
while performing their duties and later eight vehicles filled with
policemen went to his office at the Ministry of Youth and Poverty
Alleviation and ransacked it while every marshal they saw there
was beaten and 19 wounded marshals were arrested and taken to
the police station.
Mr. Dunama, however, said that after he reported the matter to the
Commissioner of Police, Kudu Nma, the marshals were released on
bail.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of the Gombe State Police
Command, Fwaje Atajiri, said that two policemen from the Gombe
Police Division were sent to invite some persons suspected of
committing assault, when the policemen tried to invite one of the
suspects, he refused and an argument ensued between the suspect
and the policemen and it was later discovered that the suspect was
a marshal but that he was not in uniform.
Mr. Atajiri said that the clash could not have occurred if the police
had known that the suspect was a marshal.
He however, denied allegations that policemen in eight vehicles
went and beat many marshals in the Ministry of Youth and Poverty
Alleviation.
