A video of two police officers engaged in physical combat has emerged online, resulting in several comments from Nigerians.
The video, which was uploaded to YouTube on Friday by Sharebitmag
with the caption “Two Nigeria police caught fighting in Lagos,” showed
the incident took place at the entrance of an unidentifiable bank.
In the two-minute clip, a mobile
policeman was seen in the black shirt and greenish-black khaki trousers
police uniform sitting atop his colleague, while delivering several
blows.
Though the video did not show how the
brawl began, the second officer appeared to have been floored, as he did
not return any of the punches. A bottle of an alcohol beverage, Alomo
Bitters, was seen on the ground next to the duo.
Due to the poor quality of the video, SUNDAY top achievement
was unable to verify the identities or Force numbers of both men.
However, the assaulter could be seen wearing a ring on the fourth finger
of his left hand.
A crowd of onlookers surrounded the
police officers at the start of the video and watched in amusement. A
third officer, holding an AK-47 rifle in his left hand, throughout the
video, could be seen trying to stop the fight.
After more intermittent punches to the
face of his colleague, the mobile policeman then stood up and both
officers proceeded into the premises of the supposed bank, where the
fight once again escalated.
A security guard and another unidentifiable man then appeared onscreen in an attempt to pacify one of the fighters.
