On camera, two uniformed Nigerian police officers are seen fighting in public over an unidentified issue.
The men were shown in a video that went viral on social media punching and yanking each other as they got out of a police patrol car.
They all returned to the car when the altercation became so severe that one of their colleagues had to step in and break them up.
Maheed Muazu, the Gombe Police Public Relations Officer, denounced the behaviour of the security guards, writing, “Bad attitude; it can’t be tolerated.”
video sparked reactions from netizens who deemed the act very unprofessional and unruly.
ChibuzoUdolisa wrote; “So unprofessional, and the one who waded into them with an assault rifle in his hand. He never thought a provoked enough one could have snatched the rifle from him and do regrettable things with it.”
GbemigaOgunwale commented; “That’s called anger venting.
That journey is more important 🤑🤣”

And query to this camera man for shaking his hand during recording🤣
Imarahoo; “@PoliceNG members of the force fighting with their uniform on should be immediate dismissal.
The force has failed to uphold discipline for too long. The effect of that is destroying the possibilities of seeing an affective policing system.”
