Armed standoff between Nigerian police & NSCDC officers caught on tape

In the above video, Nigerian Civil Defense and Police force members can be seen engaged in a power struggle, one which escalates as members of both sides draw guns. Occurring in full view of a people, the fight threatens to take a deadly detour at many points.



The release of the video is the next installment in the brewing conflict between the Civil Defense and the police, after the Civil Defense had accused a member of the police force of threatening to shoot Commandant-General Abe Abolurin during an anti-vandalism inspection in Lagos on Friday. Both the police and the Civil Defense officials tussled for control of the site, as can be seen, with an officer intent on barring access of Civil Defense agents to the area.
