Irate soldiers yesterday invaded and ransacked a police station in
Port Harcourt following the killing of their colleague by policemen.
Soldiers who laid siege at the police station located along Aba
George Road for several hours, caused pandemonium and traffic gridlock
in the area.
The Guardian gathered from an eyewitness that yesterday morning, the
slain soldier who lodged in a hotel at Elioparanwo area of Port Harcourt
was said to have stepped out of the hotel on mufti with his rifle. Just
as he attempted to board a tricycle, some policemen in a patrol van
accosted him and opened fire, allegedly mistaking him to be a miscreant.
The policemen then carried the deceased soldier into their van and
drove to the station.
