A soldier and a police officer have been sanctioned after a public altercation between them in Jos, Plateau State.
The uniformed men were captured in a viral video exchanging blows while their colleagues struggled to separate them at Hamaz, along Ahmadu Bello Way in Jos.

He urged members of the public to continue their daily activities without fear or concern.
