Aggrieved soldiers stormed
Rumukpakani police station in Port Harcourt, Rivers state capital, on Thursday
over the death of one of their colleagues.
A resident revealed that a
policeman opened fire on a soldier after a heated argument.
Two soldiers who lodged at a
hotel in Rumukpakani were said to have gone in search of food in the community.
The soldiers were said to be in
mufti and one of them had a gun on him. Some residents who could not ascertain
his identity reportedly alerted the police.
“Some soldiers lodged in a hotel
around Ada George Road. Two of them came outside to get food, and one was with
a gun,” the resident said.
“When the police came, they asked
the soldiers to follow them to their station but the soldiers refused and an
argument broke out.
“One of the policemen opened fire
on the soldier who died in the process and the other one ran back to inform his
colleagues.”
