Table Turns Around as Army Beats the Day Light Out of "All Powerful" DPO

 

According to eye  witness accounts, the Divisional Police officer in-charge of the police  post was said to be driving into the station when he spotted the bus and  ordered the owner to repack the bus claiming that it was blocking his  way.  The Army captain who was in mufti, was said to have come out, greeted  the DPO and quickly wanted to repark his bus.

 But the police officer was  said to have ordered him to come closer and explain why he should block  his way to the station.  The army officer was said to have continued to plead with the angry  police officer when he refused to allow him to remove his vehicle to  re-park.  Rather, he was alleged to have ordered his men to arrest the man, who at  that juncture unveiled his identity, which was doubted by the police  officer who insisted that he must be arrested.  

The scene attracted passers-by and people doing sundry businesses around  the area, who also joined to plead with the police officer who refused  to budge and insisted that the soldier must be arrested.  “He must obey my arrest order; you people should tell him to obey my  arrest order. You must obey my arrest order, you said you are a captain,  you must tell me how many wars you have fought. 

 “I have fought in three Boko Haram states of Borno, Adamawa and Yobe  before coming here, you must show me your identity today; drag him into  the cell now,” the DPO whose identity was not immediately known was  yelling.  However, the tables turned against the ‘powerful’ DPO when four soldiers  arrived at the police station and discovered the man being molested was  actually an army captain, and they became angry that an officer was  calm and gentle to plead, yet he was being disgraced by the police  officer.  

They called for reinforcements and in less than 15 minutes, four Hilux  vans loaded with soldiers, arrived the police station. They later took  away the DPO and another police officer with them to their base, after  giving them the beating of their lives.  The police have colonized the parking lots around the area, harassing  and ordering motorists not to park vehicles around the area, as they  always block the road that passes through the station.
