UPDATE #CRU231710:
Following is the DPO concerned on the matter as an interim, the position of the Imo police command is still being awaited : I think the PPRO has largely debunked this erroneous video clip.
But for those who are more interested in sharing it, I wish to say I'm the DPO Owerri North Division, and I'm not in that video, and nobody fought over money on the road.
The person in that clip is my DTO, an ASP who was viciously attacked by a driver and his friend who drove against traffic close to Toronto junction along MCC - URATTA Road yesterday.
A traffic policeman stopped him but he called his bluff.
