Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Nigeria Army says its investigating the incident that led to the death of Police officer in Lagos.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST reports that soldiers attached to the Ojo Cantonment Barracks, led by a yet-to-be-identified colleague who was accosted for driving against the traffic around Volks Bus Stop, along the Ojo Iyana Iba Road area of Lagos State, had reportedly stabbed a policeman, Saka Ganiyu, to death.<\/p>\n

Reacting to the incident in a statement by Lieutenant Colonel Olabisi Olalekan Ayeni, Deputy Director Army Public Relations 81 Division, the Nigerian Army said, \u201c81 Division Nigerian Army (NA) regrets to inform the public of an unfortunate incident that occurred on 9 October 2024 involving a soldier and a policeman following an altercation related to an alleged traffic rule violation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe soldier suspected to have committed the offence has since been apprehended and handed over to the Military Police for investigation and further disciplinary procedures.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe incident is highly regrettable, given the Division\u2019s commitment to the Nigerian Army Code of Conduct and Rules of Engagement. The Nigerian Army has continuously sensitized its personnel not to engage in activities that would tarnish its image and bridge the trust with other security agencies as well as the civil populace.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe General Officer Commanding 81 Division NA commiserates with the family of the deceased and the Nigeria Police on this unfortunate incident.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Division reassures the general public that a thorough investigation will be conducted, and appropriate disciplinary measures will be taken to ensure that justice is served.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will continue to collaborate with other security agencies to ensure security of lives and property in line with the constitutional mandate of the Nigerian Army.\u201d<\/p>\n
