Photos: Edo State Commissioner for Sports in street brawl

The Edo State Commissioner for Sports, Chris Okaeben, engaged in a street brawl with officials of War Against Indiscipline in Benin on Monday March 24th after the WAI officers apprehended a vehicle belonging to Captain Hosa Okunbor, for violating traffic light by Hexagon junction along Airport road.

According to eye-witnesses, the driver of Captain Okunbor's SUV pulled over and told the WAI officials that the SUV belonged to a leader and that they had no right to apprehend the vehicle even if he drove through a red light.

When the WAI officials insisted on taking the car to the office for prosecution, the driver put up a heavy resistance and started making calls. Within 10 minutes the Commissioner for Sports Chris Okaeben drove down with some armed policemen and started fighting the WAI officials. Fortunately a passerby recorded the street brawl on his phone.
