A fight which broke out between a soldier and four mobile policemen inside a new generation bank in Calabar led to the disruption of activities at about 11am on Tuesday, May 31.
A canister of tear gas was shot inside the filled banking hall, following the dispute, leading to pandemonium as customers fled the burning sensation.
Shortly after, armed mobile and regular policemen arrived the bank in trucks demanding for the soldier who was inside the bank.
Apparently responding to the call for backup from the outnumbered soldier, a deployment of soldiers in trucks arrived a few minutes later and began sporadic shooting into the air, as on looking bystanders and passersby scampered for safety
After a while they all got inside the bank, to sort the issue, after which they got out and left in their vehicles.
