The Kebbi State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Nafi’u Abubakar, in a statement said the duo had an altercation in front of ASP Garba’s shop and it degenerated to a fight.
Abubakar said the Kebbi State Commissioner of Police, Ahmed Magaji-Kontagora, has ordered an investigation into circumstances surrounding the incident.
He said, “ CP has condemned the unfortunate incident, describing it as contrary to the training, act and regulations of the Police Force, as well as other relevant laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
