It is unclear what sparked the clashes but a senior police officer told the BBC that a police station had been set on fire.<\/p>\n
One media report says that a policeman had confronted a navy officer for failing to stop at some traffic lights.<\/p>\n
The police and the navy have not officially commented on the incident.<\/p>\n
Images of burned cars and building were shared on the Nigeria police Facebook page but they have since been removed.<\/p>\n
Another media report says that a navy officer who had been involved in a minor accident with a motorised rickshaw had been angered by the policeman’s behaviour.<\/p>\n
Shortly afterwards, a group of armed naval officers are said to have attacked and burnt down a local police station.<\/p>\n
The BBC’s Martin Patience in Lagos says the attack highlights the often lawless behaviour of the country’s defence forces.<\/p>\n
