Men and officers of the Joint Task Force, Operation Delta Safe, on Saturday clashed with staff of the Bayelsa State Environmental Sanitation Authority during the national monthly cleanup exercise.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that while the environmental exercise was going on, the JTF vehicle was intercepted by the environmental officials on the road.
The NAN also reports that the JTF officials had to question why the sanitation officials must block the main road, which resulted in a heated argument, followed by the release of a gunshot into the air.
The Chairman of the Environmental Sanitation team, Robert Enua, called the spokesman of the JTF on the phone complaining to him about his people had done.
Enua said he would report the matter to Governor Seriake Dickson, adding that they should not label the Niger Delta people as “Avengers because Bayelsan are peace loving people”.
