A witness told newsmen in Yola on Thursday that the power-drunk speaker got angry when the policeman complained about non-payment of his allowances.
According to the source, the speaker grabbed the policeman and slapped him severally until the man was rescued by some security men around.
“The dazed sergeant was rescued by a civil defence man who had to remind the speaker that he was beating up a policeman,” the witness said.
The Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Othman Abubakar, who confirmed the development, said the commander in charge of Yola Area Command was handling the matter.
“The case has been reported and we are handling it. We will let the press know the outcome of our investigation,” Abubakar added.
