“We are here to do the same job of security; so they should stop chasing us away with their guns”, what if we were not been trained like them and we decided to chase them back with our own more sophisticated weapon, can they withstand it, one of them told pressmen in confidence.

Some members of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, posted as part of security at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium, Enugu, venue of the South-East rally of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, exchanged blows with some policemen early this morning.

The incident, which happened near the VIP pavilion led to exchange of blows between members of the two security agencies, while the State Security Services, SSS, worked to reconcile the two parties.

President Goodluck Jonathan and the National Working Committee of the party, Governors and other PDP leaders are being expected at the rally.

The members of the NSCDC decried what they called unnecessary intimidation from the police.
