Adamawa Governor, Ahmadu Fintiri has held an emergency security meeting over Wednesday’s clash between military and police personnel in Yola.
The Governor, governor who addressed a briefing immediately after the meeting on Wednesday night, said the inter-agency conflict had been resolved.
The conflict between the military and police personnel which had broken out along Target Junction in Yola North Local Government Area escalated to an attack on the police headquarters in the state capital.
A police inspector was killed while the military complained that a soldier was shot and taken away by the Police.
But the wounded soldier had apparently died when the emergency security meeting held as confirmed by Fintiri.
The Governor said however that the emergency meeting had resolved the conflict and the security heads, comprising Commissioner of Police Babatola Afolabi and Commander of 23 Armoured Brigade, Brigadier General Gambo Mohammed, had committed to working in synergy for the best interest of Adamawa State and Nigeria.
Confirming that the military and police lost one officer each during the clash, Fintiri called for enduring restraint to avoid a repeat of hostility.
The Governor who addressed a briefing immediately after the meeting on Wednesday night, said the inter-agency conflict had been resolved.
Fintiri told reporters: “We are just coming out of the state high command strategic meeting where all the issues between the two concerned state commands were discussed extensively and resolved. We all agreed that our common concern should be the peace and security of the state.
“We have taken note of the men of both sides that lost their lives and those who were injured. The understanding now is that the heads of the sister security agencies are on top of their men and this kind of thing will not happen again.”
