CP Afolabi Babatola, the Commissioner of Police in Adamawa state, has frowned at the clash between Police and Military Officers along Target Junction, Yola North Local Government Area.

During the clash last night November 21, Inspector Jacob Daniel was killed while the Police facility was attacked.

A statement released by the spokesperson of the command, SP Suleiman Nguroje on November 22, says the CP has ordered an immediate investigation into the matter with a view to ensuring peace and justice.

‘’The CP warned that attacks on all security officers in the line of duty would no longer be tolerated under whatever guise, as the Command holds the lives of all security personnel sacrosanct, and such unwarranted  conflict would be strictly treated in accordance with extant laws. He equally reiterated the commitment of the Command to protection of lives and property while stressing that it is vital to work with other sister security agents  in protecting the fundamental rights of  security operatives, in order to enable them advance their sacred mandate of serving and protecting the citizens better.'' he said

Nguroje added that the police boss  appealed for calm as the top Management of both security agencies are doing everything legally possible to address the situation.
