A soldier identified as Abubakar has allegedly killed a Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) officer, Olapade Segun.
Abubakar and Segun were said to have met at a nightclub in the Bodija area of Oyo State on Friday.
Journalists gathered that a heated altercation ensued between the two security agents in Sunday, which led Abubakar to bring out his dagger.
According to sources privy to the matter, who pleaded anonymity, Abubakar stabbed Segun and he died as a result of the blood lost through the incident.
A source told newsmen that a mob angered by the incident beat up the soldier after he tried to escape from the scene.
Another source said some senior officers of the Nigerian Army have been visiting the state command of the NSCDC to investigate the matter.
Efforts to get the Director of Nigerian Army Public Relations, Major General Onyema Nwachukwu, on Sunday evening were futile.
A call to his number indicated it was switched off. He had yet to respond to a message sent to him as of the time of filing this report.
His NSCDC counterpart, Babawale Afolabi, did not pick up several calls to his line and has yet to respond to messages sent to him on the matter.
