VIDEO: Nigerian Police, Civil Defence Officer Exchange Blows In Osun

News Update

Some Nigerian police officers and operatives of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) have been caught on camera engaging in a fight.

It was gathered that the incident occurred during the week at Elizabeth Estate, Abere in Osogbo, the capital of Osun State.

It was learnt that some policemen on Tuesday stormed the area to arrest a resident but were allegedly stopped by NSCDC operatives.

However, the officers returned on Thursday to attack the civil defence corps members.

In the video, the security operatives are seen exchanging blows and slapping each other.

“Some policemen on Tuesday wanted to arrest someone in the estate without a warrant of arrest but were stopped by the civil defence officers, so they (policemen) came back on Thursday, this time with more men to overpower the civil defence guys,” a resident who witnessed the fight said.

“They injured the guy being slapped by a policeman in mufti very well and later dragged him to police CID in Osogbo and sadly till now, their commandant (NSCDC) hasn’t done or said anything since.”


When speaking with Journalist on Friday, the Osun State Police spokesperson, Yemisi Opalola said the Police will release a report soon on the incident.

In 2023, officials of the Department of State Services (DSS) and prison officials from the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCS) fought on the premises of the Federal High Court, Ikoyi, Lagos, over who would take custody of Godwin Emefiele, a former CBN Governor.

The DSS operatives were seen in a video dragging an official of the NCS out of the court and hitting him.
