Eyewitnesses alleged that intervention from other security agencies was necessary to pacify the situation.

The incident purportedly stemmed from accusations of extortion, harassment, and sudden stops by FRSC officials. Yahaya Dansa, a local operator, recounted the fracas erupting when multiple individuals were halted, prompting a response from the 301 Artillery Regiment to safeguard the corps’ infrastructure.

Another witness, Danladi Akko, described motorists being stopped, some en route to farms, with altercations ensuing over alleged vehicle issues.

Sector Commander Felix Theman downplayed the incident as minor, asserting that peace had been restored and the matter handed over to the police.

Theman refuted claims of military involvement, stating the situation had already diffused before their arrival.
