At least two soldiers and two police officers were involved in a physical clash at a popular market in Jos, the Plateau State capital, causing tension among traders and residents.
The incident reportedly occurred at the GSM centre in the Hamaz area. Although the exact cause of the altercation is yet to be officially confirmed, eyewitness accounts shared on social media suggest it began over a disagreement between a soldier and a roadside phone dealer.
A Facebook user, Bello Lukman who posted the incident, claimed that the soldier became angry after the trader allegedly damaged his phone instead of repairing it. According to the post, the soldier attempted to arrest the trader but a policeman at the scene intervened and advised that the matter be taken to a police station.
“The soldier called some of his colleagues who arrived in a Hilux, beat up the policeman, wounded him and took away his gun,” Lukman wrote.
He added that police operatives in the area were later withdrawn, while traders rushed to seek the presence of other security agents to prevent further violence. He also claimed that a possible bloodbath was averted as the policeman had earlier cocked his gun.
Reacting to the incident, the Plateau state Police Command confirmed that it was aware of the clash and said the situation had been brought under control.
A statement released by the public relations officer of the command SP Alabo Alfred said “The Plateau State Police Command is aware of the recent altercation between police officers and military personnel that occurred on December 1, 2025, at Hamaz, Ahmadu Bello Way, Jos.”
He said the incident was taken seriously and investigated, adding that, “the security personnel involved in the disgraceful act have been sanctioned accordingly by the management of the respective agencies.”
SP Alfred also assured residents that steps had been taken to prevent a repeat of such incident. “The misunderstanding between personnel of the two responsible security agencies has been properly addressed, and measures have been put in place to prevent a recurrence,” he said.
