The police are currently in a cold war with their army counterparts after the latter shot and killed three officers of the former in Taraba State.
The police accuses the military of summarily executing its officers who were escorting an arrested kidnap kingpin from Taraba to the force headquarters in Abuja.
The army had explained its men mistook the police officers are kidnappers – an explanation the Police refuses to accept.
Meanwhile it has become a dramatic spectacle for Nigerians on social media – but not in a comic sense at all.
