The Federal Capital Territory Police Command has deployed intelligence officers to Banex \u2013 an electronics and telecommunications gadgets market, in Abuja following a conflict that ensued between soldiers and some traders on Saturday.<\/p>\n

A viral video seen by our correspondent on X on Saturday showed a multitude of civilians overpowering some soldiers during a free-for-all fight at Banex.<\/p>\n

The Defence Headquarters, and the spokesperson for the Nigerian Army, Onyema Nwachukwu could not be reached for comments as of press time.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a trader who simply identified himself as Abdul, told our correspondent on Saturday that the conflict ensued over the sale of a mobile phone.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a problem at Banex now. Some soldiers came to complain about a phone, and during an argument with the traders, a fight ensued,\u201d Abdul simply revealed.<\/p>\n

When contacted over the development, the spokesperson for the FCT Police Command, SP Josephine Adeh said the Commissioner of Police, Benett Igweh has deployed officers of the FCT Intelligence Response Team to the scene of the incident.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe CP has deployed the Intelligence Response Team to the scene,\u201d Adeh confirmed.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
