Security operatives exchange blows as President Buhari visits Kaduna

Some security agents detailed to secure activities as President Muhammadu Buhari pays State visit to Kaduna on Thursday exchanged blows over misunderstanding with each other.

It took intervention of some senior security operatives to stop the fight from degenerating into use of weapons.

Trouble started when President Muhammadu Buhari was commissioning Kawo bridge, constructed by Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State as he pays a 2-day working visit that argument ensued between operatives attached to President Buhari and those in Kaduna.

DSS personnel, it was gathered, first blocked the road to Kawo bridge after the President mounted the bridge, thereby stopping journalists and other dignitaries from accessing Kawo bridge, that Security details of governor El-Rufai insisted on allowing dignitaries and journalists access and the issue resulted to altercation.

Governor El-Rufai had earlier alighted from his vehicle and joined President Buhari’s convoy, but his official vehicle and his ADC were not allowed access to the bridge by the DSS operatives.

President Buhari within two days is expected to commission the projects which are in Kafanchan, Kaduna and Zaria.

Buhari after his return from Kafanchan commissioned the Kawo bridge.
