Fracas broke out on Monday afternoon at the Agoro area of Zaria when a soldier from the Depot Nigerian Army was fined N10,000 by a mobile court enforcing the COVID-19 lockdown.
Daily Trust gathered that the soldier, who was in mufti, was trying to get explanation on why he was fined when a policeman allegedly slapped him.
An eyewitness said, “Fight broke out immediately. The soldier got support of his colleagues. So, even the magistrate has to take to his heels.”
