Soldiers on the loose in Delta after a policeman shot dead their colleague

A policeman attached to the Eagle Net police formation on Thursday morning reportedly killed a soldier in Bomadi town, headquarters of Bomadi Local Government Area of Delta State.

Although what led to the shooting of the soldier has not been made known yet, it was gathered that soldiers from the 222 battalions in Agbarha-Otor stationed in the area have gone on a rampage in protest of the incident.

Speaking to Vanguard on the condition of anonymity, a senior police officer from the Bomadi police station said: “We currently have a security situation in Bomadi as one of our men shot dead a soldier this morning.

“The soldiers are on a rampage and they have been attacking any policeman on sight and have already seized a police patrol van attached to Bomadi Division.”
