-
According to media report, One person was injured on Tuesday when a group of Mobile policemen from MOPOL 19 clashed with some operatives of the Nigerian Navy in Port Harcourt.

The incident, which took place at about 6:20pm around Mummy B axis of GRA in the
Rivers State capital, caused commotion as motorists scampered for safety.
It was gathered that a vehicle carrying a group of Navy operatives was held up in a gridlock along the ever-busy Mummy B road near the GRA junction.

Not satisfied with the development, some naval ratings were said to have alighted from the vehicle and moved to the point where they met a group of Mobile policemen controlling the traffic.

An eyewitness said the Mobile policemen had told the Navy operatives not to worry because they (Mobile policemen) were already on the ground to clear the gridlock on the road.

“Surprisingly, an argument ensued between both of them and one Mobile policeman, who was in mufti, fired teargas and in the confusion one Navy operative was shot.

“There was blood everywhere around that point. But I believe the person that was shot must have been rushed to the hospital,” the source, who did not want his name mentioned, said.

When contacted the State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Ahmad Mohammad, confirmed the incident, but added that the matter had been resolved.
Ahmad said in a text message to our correspondent that there was no casualty during the clash.

“It has been resolved. No casualty at all,” the text message read.

Also contacted, the Public Relations Officer, Nigerian Navy Ship Pathfinder, Lt.-Cdr. Hammad Ahmed, said he was still being briefed on the matter and promised to speak as soon as he had the full details.
