The Nigerian Navy has confirmed that some of its personnel have been arrested following a physical confrontation involving other security operatives in Bayelsa State during President Bola Tinubu’s visit on Friday.

The altercation, which circulated widely online, was captured in a 53-second video showing uniformed officers engaged in a heated exchange.

In the clip, a driver operating a Hilux vehicle labelled “Naval Police” is seen stepping out to confront another driver, leading to a verbal dispute.

Shortly after returning to his vehicle, a soldier armed with a rifle approached and struck the Naval Police driver, triggering a violent scuffle.

The incident quickly escalated into a broader fight, with personnel from both sides trading blows while onlookers watched in shock.

The clash reportedly happened as the President was departing the venue of an official engagement in the state.

As of the time of filing this report, the exact cause of the confrontation had not been established.

Responding to the development on Saturday via his X account, the Director of Naval Information, Navy Captain Abi Folorunso, confirmed that those involved are now in custody and facing disciplinary action.

“The affected personnel are in custody and already undergoing appropriate administrative and disciplinary procedures in accordance with extant military regulations,” he wrote.
