HEADQUARTERS 81 DIVISION COMMENCES INVESTIGATION INTO INCIDENT THAT LED TO DEATH OF POLICE OFFICER IN LAGOS

Headquarters 81 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.

The incident, which is presently under investigation, escalated and resulted in the death of the policeman.

The soldier suspected to have committed the offence has since been apprehended and handed over to the Military Police for investigation and further disciplinary procedures.

The incident is highly regrettable, given the Division’s 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. The General Officer Commanding 81 Division NA commiserates with the family of the deceased and the Nigeria Police on this unfortunate incident.

The 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.

We 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.

Signed

Case of brutality among army and policemen is too rampant in Nigeria. There should be brotherhood in all military organizations and not seeing one as superior.
Na govt employ all of dem o!
It has been messy to point of where we hear rumours few years ago say some fought and killed over totö. As in army officer n policeman fight over pûssy. So disgraceful!

Investigation that will not see the light of the day. Unknown soldier tale loading.

Case is dead on arrival

What are they investigating?You don't investigate yourself.The military is very notorious in guarding their terrible image.

Plenty unresolved cases and all the outcomes that will never be made public.
Too much wasted blood covered up with LIES.

Funny country. .. army is investigating a matter involving civilians and police.

This country is as useless as a discarded banana peel

The name of the soldier under investigation has not yet been mentioned.
In addition, nothing has been said about the other soldiers who were called to confront the policeman.

Funny

Just jejely allow them pass....Na wa ooo

Criminals in uniform!
