AKURE— SOME policemen in Akure, the Ondo State capital, weekend, beat up an officer of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, for driving an unregistered vehicle.

For over an hour, caution was thrown overboard as a free-for-all ensued, thereby disrupting traffic in Ado Junction, along Akure-Owo Expressway.

Report had it that the incident occurred at 6p.m. on Saturday.

The NSCDC officer was stopped by the policemen and he was asked to produce the particulars of the unregistered car he was driving.

An argument led to a fight and the NSCDC officer was said to have been beaten, handcuffed and taken to Ijapo Police.

Meanwhile, top officers of the two security agencies have wadded into the matter.
